The reason that the dialog you're creating using the "ALF_CREATE_DIALOG_REQUEST" is that the buttons you're seeing are from the form, not the dialog - do make the dialog disappear you'd need to configure "widgetsButtons" array to contain all the buttons that you wish to control your dialog with.

Since you're just using form controls then you should use "ALF_CREATE_FORM_DIALOG_REQUEST", however you're configuring it wrong… if you want to include additional data in the published payload (when the dialog confirmatio button is used) then you should include it in the "formSubmissionPayloadMixin" topic. Examples of using the DialogService can be found in the https://github.com/Alfresco/Aikau/blob/master/aikau/src/test/resources/testApp/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-webscripts/alfresco/services/DialogService.get.js file in GitHub. If you clone the GitHub repository and build and start the test application (mvn clean install jetty:run) then you can try the test page out at the URL: http://localhost:8089/aikau/page/tp/ws/DialogService

Looking through the existing form dialog tutorials I see that we've not covered the "formSubmissionPayloadMixin" and it's not covered in the JSDoc either - I'll raise an issue on the Aikau backlog to address this.

Dave

I've raised the feature request on the Aikau backlogs to improve the existing tutorial or add a new chapter that would cover this: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/AKU-225

There's a PR for this now here: https://github.com/Alfresco/Aikau/pull/194 so it should be included in the JSDoc and tutorial as part of the 1.0.15 release.
