Container view segue as modal in current context

Looking for a solution on perform a segue from a viewcontroller (VC2) that is embedded in a container view and replace it with the next viewcontroller (VC3) maintaining same size of VC2.

I proceed to setup the controller according this that is exactly what i'm looking for:

Container view segue to same size view controller

I set the segue from VC2 to VC3 as Modal segue using current context mode from storyboard or programmatically but the VC3 still loading full screen

thanks

Inside the viewDidLoad of VC2 add this:

definesPresentationContext = true

The reason it wasn't working is because when you set a segue to currentcontext it searches up the view controller stack looking for a view controller that has definesPresentationContext set to true. The view controller that it finds is the one that gets replaced.

More on this here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiviewcontroller/1621456-definespresentationcontext

If no view controller with definesPresentationContext = true is found then the VC3 will be presented on the window. This is why it was still full screen.

Also the reason is was working on a navigation stack is because navigation controllers are the only view controllers with definesPresentationContext = true by default
