I've managed to use the example from angular-ui-bootstrap to demonstrate the problem (but you need the console open to see it) Plnkr link to this code
Why is the form being stuck in a sub scope instead of this $scope?
The HTML
<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="plunker">
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.8/angular.js"></script>
<script src="http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/ui-bootstrap-tpls-0.10.0.js"></script>
<script src="example.js"></script>
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<div ng-controller="ModalDemoCtrl">
<script type="text/ng-template" id="myModalContent.html">
<div class="modal-header">
<h3>I'm a modal!</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<ng-form name="myForm">
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="item in items">
<a ng-click="selected.item = item">{{ item }}</a>
</li>
</ul>
Selected: <b>{{ selected.item }}</b>
</ng-form>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="ok()">OK</button>
<button class="btn btn-warning" ng-click="cancel()">Cancel</button>
</div>
</script>
<button class="btn btn-default" ng-click="open()">Open me!</button>
<div ng-show="selected">Selection from a modal: {{ selected }}</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
** The Javascript **
angular.module('plunker', ['ui.bootstrap']);
var ModalDemoCtrl = function ($scope, $modal, $log) {
$scope.items = ['item1', 'item2', 'item3'];
$scope.open = function () {
var modalInstance = $modal.open({
templateUrl: 'myModalContent.html',
controller: ModalInstanceCtrl,
resolve: {
items: function () {
return $scope.items;
}
}
});
modalInstance.result.then(function (selectedItem) {
$scope.selected = selectedItem;
}, function () {
$log.info('Modal dismissed at: ' + new Date());
});
};
};
// Please note that $modalInstance represents a modal window (instance) dependency.
// It is not the same as the $modal service used above.
var ModalInstanceCtrl = function ($scope, $modalInstance, items) {
$scope.items = items;
$scope.selected = {
item: $scope.items[0]
};
$scope.ok = function () {
console.log("The form in the $scope says: ", $scope.myForm);
console.log("The form in the $scope.$$childTail says: ", $scope.$$childTail.myForm);
$modalInstance.close($scope.selected.item);
};
$scope.cancel = function () {
$modalInstance.dismiss('cancel');
};
};
The ng-form is not in the $scope where I would expect it to be, even though the other $scope items are there. What is the cause of the nested scope for the form (that is added by angular for form validation).
The output from the console looks like:
The form in the $scope says: undefined example.js:37
The form in the $scope.$$childTail says:
Constructor {$error: Object, $name: "myForm", $dirty: false, $pristine: true, $valid: true…}

If you do not specify a scope property on $modal.open it take $rootscope. This is from documentation
scope - a scope instance to be used for the modal's content (actually the $modal service is going to create a child scope of a provided scope). Defaults to $rootScope
so set scope before call
var modalInstance = $modal.open({
templateUrl: 'myModalContent.html',
controller: ModalInstanceCtrl,
scope:$scope,
resolve: {
items: function () {
return $scope.items;
}
}
});
If you want to access the $scope declared on your main controller and make it accessible to the modal you have to include in your modal configuration.
scope: $scope
Just like what Chandermani put up on his answer above.
