Hi everyone!

I'm trying to reuse 2 data types I've created: one nested content (composed by 2 fluidity entity picker) and one nupicker typeahead list picker inside a custom dashboard.

I followed the examples I've found in some threads (e.g. using the DatatypeController of UmbUkFestival2014.sln to get view and configuration of the editors) but for these two properties the 'value' is always undefined.

I did the same for a third property, a switcher (Our.Umbraco.Switcher) and the configuration works fine.

My view:

<div class="CustomWelcomeDashboard-dashboard" ng-controller="CustomWelcomeDashboardController">
    <umb-editor model="gender"></umb-editor>
    <umb-editor model="countryPicker"></umb-editor>
    <umb-editor model="roles"></umb-editor>
</div>

And my controller:

angular.module("umbraco").controller("CustomWelcomeDashboardController",
    function ($scope, datatypeResource) {

    //init
    $scope.value = {
        gender: 0,
        roles: [],
        name: '',
        email: '',
        year: 0,
        ldap: '',
        userid: '',
        country: ''
    };
    $scope.countryPicker = {};
    $scope.gender = {};
    $scope.roles = {};
    $scope.loaded = 3;

    //watch gender: OK
    $scope.$watch('gender', function () {

        if ($scope.gender !== undefined) {
            $scope.value.gender = $scope.gender.value;
        }
    }, true);

    //watch country: KO, never triggers
    $scope.$watch('countryPicker', function () {

        if ($scope.countryPicker !== undefined) {
            $scope.value.country = $scope.countryPicker.value;
        }
    }, true);

    //watch roles: KO, never triggers
    $scope.$watch('roles', function () {
        if ($scope.roles !== undefined) {
            $scope.value.roles = $scope.roles.value;
        }
    }, true);

    //get switcher datatype configuration data
    datatypeResource.getByName('Gender Switcher').then(function (result) {
        $scope.gender = {
            alias: 'gender',
            view: result.data.view,
            config: result.data.config,
            value: $scope.value.gender
        };
        $scope.loaded--;
    });

    //get nuPicker datatype configuration data
    datatypeResource.getByName('Country Picker').then(function (result) {

        $scope.countryPicker = {
            alias: 'countryPickerAlias',
            view: result.data.view,
            config: result.data.config,
            value: $scope.value.country
        };

        $scope.loaded--;
    });

    //get Nested Content datatype configuration data
    datatypeResource.getByName('Jobs and Units NC').then(function (result) {
        console.log(result)

        $scope.roles = {
            alias: 'roles',
            view: result.data.view,
            config: result.data.config,
            value: $scope.value.roles
        };
        $scope.loaded--;
    });


    $scope.save = function () {
        console.log($scope.value)
        //the result is
        //{
        //  "gender": 1,
        //  "roles": [],
        //  "name": "stefano beretta",
        //  "email": "[email protected]",
        //  "year": 1988,
        //  "ldap": "qweqwe",
        //  "userid": "asdasd",
        //  "country": ""
        //}
    }
});

Thank you!
