Ionic Modal Pass Data

I am wonder if someone call assist with my issue. So basically my app has a category select and a sub category select based on the category that was selected. This works perfectly with Ionic popup, however when i change to use a Ionic modal the data fails to pass through to the modals and the sub category is always empty.

What am i missing here?

Code below:
HTML Below

<script id="categoryModal.html" type="text/ng-template">
        <ion-modal-view>
            <ion-header-bar align-title="center" class="bar-energized nav-title-slide-ios7">
                <h1 class = "title">Category Select</h1>
                <div class="buttons">
                    <button style="font-size:17px; color:#fff; font-weight:500" class="button button-clear button-positive" ng-click = "closecategoryModal()">Done</button>
                </div>
            </ion-header-bar>
            <ion-content>
                <ion-list>
                    <ion-checkbox ng-model="CategoryList[$index].value" ng-true-value='true' ng-false-value='false' ng-repeat="x in CategoryList">
                        <span ng-bind-html="x.Name"></span>
