Angular JS radio lists and dropdowns. Issue with dropdowns changing value of radio list value when triggered
I think I have a logic issue with my Angular that I need some help on.
We have a service that connects to a DB that gets saved values so our Angular form can get the values and use them. That is all set up.
My issue is, in our form we have 1 radio button list using an ng-repeat to generate the list and 3 dropdown lists. Our dropdown lists are triggering and update function to update the values of themselves. We are showing and hiding the dropdown menus based on the radio button lists selection (I will post the code). This should be noted we are using Umbraco CMS that this control is being used for, but this is not the actual issue.
The issue is, we console our response the value of the radio button list outputs fine to the selection we chose, BUT when I select one of the dropdown list items, the value of the dropdown list returns to the previously selected value. Any help figuring this out would be greatly appreciated.
Code is below:
my.controller.js
angular.module("umbraco")
.controller("Our.GalaxyEventSelectorController", function ($scope, $routeParams, notificationsService, GalaxyEventSelectorResource) {
$scope.emptyList = [{}];
$scope.ETypeRadio = { 0: "NA", 1: "RepeatingTimedEvent", 2: "RepeatSingleDayEvent", 3: "SingleTimedEvent" };
GalaxyEventSelectorResource.getEventById($routeParams.id, $scope.model.alias).then(function (response) {
// console.log("REsponse: " + response);
console.log("intial load on DOM load")
var resp = (response.data.indexOf("{") > -1 ? angular.fromJson(JSON.parse(response.data)) : "");
$scope.previousSelectedTypeOfEvent = (resp == "" ? "" : resp.TypeOfEvent);
$scope.previousSelectedEventTypeId = (resp == "" ? 0 : resp.EventTypeId);
$scope.previousSelectedEventName = (resp == "" ? "" : resp.EventName);
$scope.previousSelectedEventId = (resp == "" ? 0 : resp.EventId);
$scope.previousSelectedEventDate = (resp == "" ? "" : resp.EventDate);
//This loads the selection the initial time.
$scope.selectedTypeOfEvent = $scope.previousSelectedTypeOfEvent; //THIS Gets the previous radio button selection
//init EventTypeId dropdown
var initIdx = 0;
$scope.getEventTypeIds(true, initIdx);
