I think the scope issue is coming from the dynamic caracteristic of your modal that you add to the DOM with the web2py_component() function...
The second comment on the question here should work : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10280569/jquery-select-dynamically-created-html-element But you should not remove the parent empty div that you need to add to the component shell view, you need to remove the child that should be the modal... Not sure if in this select scenario it gonna be better or not though... I you were have some way to use .on() some how it could solve the problem if the problem come from the fact that your modal is a dynamic DOM element... You can try by adding a button that you can click like in the SO question if you can hide/remove the modal this way or not. You could also just redirect on the shell view and use valuekeep depending of how you use your modal for subform... I guess your need is for adding a missing value in a lookup table and autoselect it in the form you try to complete if so, the blog post in one of my previous mail do exactly that and it works I test it (the modal form at least work ok). But I am not sure it autoselect the inserted value, but this is easy to do with a trigger once component form has pass.
