angular ui modal can NOT refer to parent scope
angular-ui, angularjs, angularjs-scope
Solution
Angular UI's modals use `$rootScope` by default (See the documentation here).
You can pass a `scope` parameter with a custom scope when you open the modal – e.g. `scope: $scope` if you want to pass the parent scope. The modal controller will create a sub-scope from that scope, so you will only be able to use it for your initial values.
Problem
i am using angular ui modal to create modal in my project. Everything works fine until I need to refer to variable in parent scope. see plunker code It seems like modal can't access parent scope. Is there anyway to overcome this?
