Hi everybody,

We have a mover type directive. I noticed, that if I move all items from the left to the right or vs. versa using the buttons, the form's dirty state is not changing and therefore when I click Cancel button on the form I don't get a prompt for unsaved changes.

So, I want to programmatically set its dirty state.

My problem is that I can not figure out how to refer the form (or that control) from the directive.

I tried the following code in the MoveRightAll button:

 $scope.moveRightAll = function() {
                    var unassignedItems = $scope.unassignedItems.slice(0);
                    var items = $scope.unassignedItems.slice(0);

                    angular.forEach(items, function (value, key) {
                        $scope.assignedItems.push(value);
                        removeItem(unassignedItems, value);
                    });
                    $scope.unassignedItems = unassignedItems;
                    $scope.form.$setDirty(); // my bad attempt
                    $scope.unassigned = {};
                };

and it didn't work. I can see that there is no form for the scope variable.

So, how can I access the form which is hosting my directive to set its dirty flag?

Thanks in advance.
