I'm building a website and I have a datatype for the back office that lists the subscriptions that a member has purchased and there is the ability to delete a subscription from the list.

The actions are all in an app.controller in the JS file. Basically it's an APP_PLUGIN extension that we're all used to in V8 and so on.

If I delete a subscription, I want to make the Member document dirty and I seem to remember there is a property for Documents and Members called $Dirty or similar.

I'm using the following code:

 var currForm = angularHelper.getCurrentForm($scope);
 currForm.$dirty = true;

but it doesn't do anything - in other words I can navigate away from the member I'm editing and it doesn't show the dialog saying that I've made changes and do I want to discard them.

So how do I do this? Sure it's pretty simple but I just can't find anything on it through Google search

Cheers, Iain
