I am having a save issue with my property editor prevalue. I have the following prevalue:

            prevalues: {
            fields: [
                {
                    label: "Indexes",
                    description: "Index to search on",
                    key: "index",
                    view: "~/App_Plugins/Similarity/views/indexes.html",
                    validation: [
                        {
                            type: "Required" 
                        }                       
                    ]
                }

My view looks like

<div class="umb-editor umb-checkboxlist" ng-controller="similarity.indexController">
    <div>           
        <select ng-model="model.config.index" class="umb-editor umb-dropdown" ng-options="o for o in indexes">              
        </select>
    </div>

and my controller looks like

angular.module("umbraco").controller("similarity.indexController",
    function ($scope, indexResource) {

        //get the indexes from /umbraco/backoffice/api/SimilarityApi/GetIndexes
        indexResource.getAllIndexes().then(function(response){

            $scope.indexes= response.data;

        })
    });

The prevalue stuff all loads fine my drop down is populated and I can select a value however when I save it does save however it does not restore the picked value. I am missing something obvious, any ideas?

Regards

```
ng-model="model.config.index"
```
```
change to
```
```
ng-model="model.value
```
prevalue editor doesn't know about model.config , you use that in the prop editor to access the value

Tim,

Even if you have more than one custom prevalue? Does angular know model.value is only for that specfic prevalue type? I am assuming it is.

So see it as a prop editor first it's just storing a value, if you then use it as a prevalue editor you can fetch the value with the key

Yeah just handle it as a prop editor, it's the config options on a prop editor that define the key but the prevalue editor doesn't need to know about the key it's just storing a value

Tim,

So for each prevalue editor i can have

model.value.somevalue1 //works on my dropdown

model.value.somevalue2 //does not work on my multiselect

etc etc

The view for the multi select controller looks like

<div class="umb-editor umb-select" ng-controller="similarity.docTypeController">
    <div>           
        <select ng-model="model.value.docTypes" class="umb-editor umb-dropdown" ng-options="docType.documentTypeAlias for docType in docTypes" multiple="true" ng-multiple="true">              
        </select>
    </div>

AS a tip, try to make it work as a prop editor first, then use it as a prevalue editor
