  • Thanks for your comments- points all well-taken. In regard to the small interactions, another pattern that I have used is using a dialog with the minimum information needed to create a new object and having buttons "Save" and "Save and edit"- the latter going to a full page with a richer UI.

    Another consideration: will the modal window still work as well on a small mobile screen? Decide if you want and need to have two separate designs or one. Commented Apr 6, 2016 at 11:22
  • I would also add that often, showing a modal does not take into consideration the URL, like "/new", which can cause troubles when sharing links. Commented Jun 23, 2020 at 7:45
