    <p>I have the following code, which can also be fiddled on <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/garukun/u69PT/">http://jsfiddle.net/garukun/u69PT/</a>.</p> <p>View:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div data-ng-app="testApp"&gt; &lt;div data-ng-controller="testCtrl"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;{{pkey}}&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span data-test-directive data-parent-item="pkey" data-parent-update="update(pkey)"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>JS:</p> <pre><code>var testApp = angular.module('testApp', []); testApp.directive('testDirective', function ($timeout) { return { scope: { key: '=parentItem', parentUpdate: '&amp;' }, replace: true, template: '&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;{{key}}&lt;/p&gt;' + '&lt;button data-ng-click="lock()"&gt;Lock&lt;/button&gt;' + '&lt;/div&gt;', controller: function ($scope, $element, $attrs) { $scope.lock = function () { $scope.key = 'D+' + $scope.key; console.log('DIR :', $scope.key); // Expecting $scope.$parent.pkey to have also been // updated before invoking the next line. $scope.parentUpdate(); // $timeout($scope.parentUpdate); // would work. }; } }; }); testApp.controller('testCtrl', function ($scope) { $scope.pkey = 'golden'; $scope.update = function (k) { // Expecting local variable k, or $scope.pkey to have been // updated by calls in the directive's scope. console.log('CTRL:', $scope.pkey, k); $scope.pkey = 'C+' + k; console.log('CTRL:', $scope.pkey); }; }); </code></pre> <p>Basically, I'm setting up the directive with an isolated scope, in which I'm two-way binding a property (key) from the parent scope (pkey), and also delegating a method (parentUpdate) to be called in the context of the parent scope.</p> <p>Now, during a ng-click event handler in the directive, I want to invoke the parentUpdate method and do something within. When I'm invoking that method, I'm expecting my parent scope's model to have been updated. But in reality, it is not, and this is what's puzzling me.</p> <p>It's probably because of some missing $digest cycles in the middle, since wrapping the parentUpdate call with $timeout would work as expected.</p> <p>Could someone shed some light on what's missing? Or how to properly invoked parentUpdate?</p>

    1. COOK, so targeting a bit here... you're wondering why `$scope.key = 'D+' + $scope.key;` from the `lock()` function doesn't seem to have any effect, right?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
