Chained menus during edit form

kliolios commented 10 years ago

Hello,

Thanks for this great library. I want to have a checklist chained to a dropdown menu. The checklist's values are provided by a factory that accepts a parameter (dropdown's selected value). The dropdown has its values populated by a different factory as well. Is it possible, to update the checklist options dynamically while on edit form mode?

Thanks Dino

I should also add that I do not want to use a nested generic structure. At this point want the values coming for 2 separate factories.

I am using e-ng-model and e-ng-change but somehow the currently selected value does not go through. Same happens when I use $watch as mentioned here: https://github.com/vitalets/angular-xeditable/issues/45 Can it be that it does not work from a form?

:+1: Being able to manipulate the 'temporary model' while a form is $visible would be super useful. For example, I have a bunch of forms in rows, containing editable-selects that I need to be able to validate (checking the values in other rows) on a change event (rather than on submit). Can't see an obvious solution to this problem.

+1000 for inner temporary model manipulation, we're struggling with location form, where city selection is based on country.

sukh48 commented 8 years ago

Looking for the same solution.
