Confirm dialog in CMS

Silverstripe Version: 4.7.3

Question:

How do I display a popup confirmation dialog in the CMS? Eg. similar to how the confirm delete dialog is displayed when user clicks delete button - I have added a custom ‘duplicate’ action button to GridField and detail forms and would like user to confirm the action when clicked.

I am not sure if this the recommended way to go about it but I added a custom.js script to achieve this. e.g.

(function($) {
    $.entwine('ss', function($){
        $('#Form_EditForm_action_importapi').entwine({
            onclick: function(e) {
				if(!confirm('Are you sure you want to replace all API data?')) {
					e.preventDefault();
					return false;
				} else {
					this._super(e);
				}
            }
        });
    });

})(jQuery);
