Change Bootstrap modal option once it already exists

by

To change configuration settings on already initiated Bootstrap plugin, such as the Modal, you need to access the plugin object attached to the element, like $('#pluginElement').data['somePlugin'] and then set the options in it.

For the Modal, you need:

$('#myModal').data('modal').options.keyboard = true;

For Bootstrap 3 (as mentioned in comments by @Gerald ), you need bs.modal:

$('#myModal').data('bs.modal').options.keyboard = true;
