How to refresh a modal without leaving/closing the modal

jace

In the attached image of the modal, clicking the Save button will add an additional row in the DataTable but does NOT close the modal. How can I refresh the modal title dynamically with information from the most recently added row in the DataTable (sorted by Status Date/Time). So, in the example below, once Save was clicked the Status of IN SAFE should show in the modal title.

I also want to reset the DropDown when Save is clicked. I can reset the two input boxes.

Here is the code piece I have thus far for the save functionality.

function save()
 {
     $('#btnSave').text('saving...'); //change button text
     $('#btnSave').attr('disabled', true); //set button disable 

     //  var username = $("#USERNAME").val();
     var pnum = $("#PASSPORT_NUMBER").val();

     // ajax adding data to database
     $.ajax({
         url: "<?php echo site_url('/index.php/status/ajax_add') ?>/" + username + "/" + pnum,
         type: "POST",
         data: $('#form').serialize(),
         dataType: "JSON",
         success: function (data)
         {
             if (data.status) //if success reload ajax table
             {
                 // $('#modal_form').modal('hide');
                 reload_info_table();
                 $("#UPS_TRACKING_NUMBER").val("");
                 $("#COMMENTS").val("");
                 //$("#PASSPORT_STATUS").index(-1);   // val("- Select -");
                 //alert('Add Status ' + name_and_status);
                 //$('.modal-title').text('Add Status ' + name_and_status);  // 
                 reload_table();
             }

             $('#btnSave').text('Save'); //change button text
             $('#btnSave').attr('disabled', false); //set button enable 
         },
         error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown)
         {
             alert('Error adding / updating data');
             $('#btnSave').text('Save'); //change button text
             $('#btnSave').attr('disabled', false); //set button enable 

         }
     });
 }
