Hi everyone,

Let’s say the user provided details in a small form (few radio buttons) on the popover page, I’ll want an easy way to pass that data back to the page that called the popover. I know that method dismiss exists and onDidDismiss function can be used further.  
How to implement it without closing the popover? (change should appear justt after clicking proper option)  
Do we have any simple alternative to the dismiss method?
