============
VacancierResource.getVacById($stateParams.id).then(function(data){
    $scope.Evacancier = data;
 });

Is the “data” of your getVacById function really in the expected structure like

```
{
    prenom: ...,
    nom: ....
}

```

Are the values initialised like

```
$scope.Evacanier = {
    nom: '',
    prenom: ''
}

```

If you have more than 1 input field it is recommended to put a form around the inputs ;).

In other cases - a codepen would be great.

Then you only have to map your data to get access to them.  
Or you are checking your result data of your service and use the correct object as model

I was having exactly the same problem.

Do this on your controller:

```
$scope.Evacancier = angular.copy(data);

```

And you are good to go.
