How would you accomplish this?
I've got the following situation. My bot is attempting to collect information from a user. At first, it will ask you, "How did you find us", and provide a bunch of buttons to click. After clicking one of the button, it'll prompt you with a modal asking for the Discord ID of the person who invited you, I was looking for a way to send the person back to phase 1 if they refuse to answer(i.e. click cancel or exit the modal). I've been told that there is no event for exiting/canceling the modal, however how would you execute this?

npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

There is no way to know if a user closed a modal and you can only send them a modal if they press a button again.
There's no good way to do it unless you're trying to be annoying and then you could put a timer and give the user 60s and if they don't answer in that timeframe, ping them and tell them to hit the button again but I'd advise against it because its sounds annoying and might be annoying depending on who uses ur bot
Is there a best practice for how do an alternative? I'm fairly new to Discord bot programming, so I'm not exactly sure what best practices to follow/haven't seen enough examples of other bots.
I'm unsure as to what your command is
Sounds like a feedback typa thing
I'll try to example exactly what occurs, sorry about that.
1. User types /register command
2. User is prompted with a message embed with 3 buttons, with a title saying "How did you find us"
3. User presses one of the three buttons, "Reddit" button
4. Modal appears infront of user stating, "Please enter your Reddit ID"
Here is where I'm hitting a roadblock.
If user closes this modal, I want the previous message embed to go back to step 2. Where they're prompted with 3 buttons again.
As I was typign this out, I just thought, "why not just not modify the message embed unless user has submitted their Reddit ID" so I think that'll just solve my issue though lol.
