How to call a modal when I return data a partial view from the controller in ASP.NET MVC

I have a controller where I return data in a partial view and I would like to call a modal, how can it be done?

I leave you the details of my controller and view below .

Controller

 [HttpPost]
 public async Task<ActionResult> Items(List<string> items)

  {
             
   var dto = new ItemsDetails();
   dto = items;

  return PartialView($"~/Views/Items/ItemDetails.cshtml", dto);
  (Here I want to call a modal)

}
           
 

View
That is the modal that I want to call.

<!-- Modal -->

@model Application.ItemsDetails

<div class="modal fade" id="items" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="exampleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">Modal title</h5>
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
          <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
        </button>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        <tbody>
    @foreach (var item in Model.Items)
    {
    <tr>
        <td class="small">@item.Barcode</td>
        <td class="small">@item.ErrorMsg</td>
        <br>

    </tr>
    }
</tbody>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
