Push a Javascript ID into a bootstrap modal (when existing feature in place...)

How do I pass a value into a Bootstrap Modal? I have some basic HTML that looks like this:

<h2 class="name" itemprop="name">Name ABC</h2>

What I would like to see happen is for the 'NAME ABC' to be pushed or 'echoed' within a bootstrap modal..

I am assuming you use an 'id' but I' must not sure how to code that....

The HTML in the bootstrap would need

<input type="text" name=" ID " value=""/> * I think!! *

If anyone can jump in with the basic JavaScript to make this work I'd be very grateful! Thanks!

$("#submit").click(function(){
  
  $("#modalInput").val($("#input").val());
  $("#modal_id").modal('show');
  
});
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

Type a message : <input type="text" id="input">
<button id="submit">Send</button>

<div class="modal fade" id="modal_id">
<div class="modal-dialog">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        
        <h4 class="modal-title">Message!</h4>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        Your Value : <input  type="text" id="modalInput" readonly/>
      </div>
             </div>
    </div>
    
  </div>

To achieve this you can instantiate a Bootstrap modal as normal, then simply add a click handler to the h2 element which places its text() value within the target input in the modal. Try this:

$('.name').click(function() {
  $('#foo').val($(this).text())
});
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" />
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

<h2 class="name" itemprop="name" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal">Name ABC</h2>

<h2 class="name" itemprop="name" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal">Name XYZ</h2>

<div class="modal fade" id="exampleModal" 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">
        <input type="text" id="foo" name="ID" value="" />
      </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>
</div>

you can try following

  $('input[name="ID"]').val($('h2.name').text());

$('input[name="ID"]').val($('h2.name').text());
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
  <title>Bootstrap Example</title>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</head>

<body>

  <div class="container">
    <h2 class="name" itemprop="name">Name ABC</h2>
    <!-- Trigger the modal with a button -->
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-info btn-lg" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Open Modal</button>

    <!-- Modal -->
    <div class="modal fade" id="myModal" role="dialog">
      <div class="modal-dialog">

        <!-- Modal content-->
        <div class="modal-content">
          <div class="modal-header">
            <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">&times;</button>
            <h4 class="modal-title">Modal Header</h4>
          </div>
          <div class="modal-body">
            <input type="text" name="ID" value="" /> * I think!! *
          </div>
          <div class="modal-footer">
            <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
          </div>
        </div>

      </div>
    </div>

  </div>

</body>

</html>
