Hi everybody,

In few forms I switched from bootstrap nav pills and partial view to the following markup:

 <div class="col-lg-3 col-md-3 panel-container">
                        <tabset vertical="true" type="pills">
                            <tab heading="@Labels.general" select="selectView('general')"  >

                            </tab>

                            <tab heading="@Labels.passes" select="selectView('guestPasses')">

                            </tab>

                            <tab heading="@Labels.history" select="selectView('guestActivity')">

                            </tab>
                            
                            <tab heading="@Labels.userDefined 1"
                                 select="selectView('userDefined1')" >
                            </tab>                     
                            
                            <tab heading="@Labels.userDefined 2"
                                 select="selectView('userDefined2')" >
                            </tab>
                        </tabset>
                    </div>

                    <div class="col-lg-9 col-md-9 panel-container">
                        <div data-ui-view data-autoscroll="false"></div>
                        <div data-ui-view="guestPasses" data-autoscroll="false"></div>
                    </div>

And I've noticed the behavior change I am wondering if I should live with or can do something about - if I type something that makes control invalid (say, in the text allowing 10 characters type 20), I can see the invalid message when I am on this tab. When I switch to another tab and then go back, that control goes to the original empty state.

The code to select view is simple:

$scope.selectView = function (viewName) {
                if ($scope.isNew) {
                    $state.go('new.' + viewName);
                }
                else {
                    $state.go('edit.' + viewName);
                }
            };

and all the ui-views are defined at the top.

I am wondering if there is a way to preserve that bad input while switching between tabs or that behavior is expected?

Thanks in advance.
