[Solved with solution] Ionic Modal issue with Insert and Update

When I first enter the list view, all the edits work properly. Once I do an insert, then anytime I do an edit, the modal brings up the last inserted fields. Console.log debugging shows that $scope.item has been assigned properly but the modal does not show the correct $scope.item for the edit.

	vm.openListItemModal = function (isEdit, item) {
		if (isEdit) {
			$scope.item = item;
		}
		else{
			$scope.item = null;
		}
		console.log('vm.openListItemModal()', isEdit, $scope.item);

		$scope.listItemModal.show();
	}

If I go to another view and come back then the edit works fine again until I use the insert.

Any ideas would be appreciated as I have been debugging this for a few days now. Thanks.

more code… add to codePen maybe?

try this

    if (isEdit) {
			modal.item = item;
		}
		else{
			modal.item = null;
		}
$scope.listItemModal=modal;
$scope.listItemModal.show();

Thanks @snailred

By looking at your suggestion, I was able to come up with a solution. I will post it later for everyone to see.

After looking at the suggestion from @snailred, I played around and found a solution (see below).

//// ----- List Item Modal ----- ////
vm.upsertListItem = function(item) {

    sharedListApi.upsertListItem(item).then(function(result){
	vm.loadList(true);
	// closing and cleaning up for modalListItem to avoid memory leaks
	$scope.modalListItem.hide();
	$scope.modalListItem.remove();
    });
};

vm.openListItemModal = function (isEdit, item) {
	// load the template for ionicModal
	$ionicModal.fromTemplateUrl('app/_templates/modalListItem.html', {
		scope: $scope,
		animation: 'slide-in-up'
	}).then(function(modal) {
		if (isEdit) {
			$scope.item = item;
		}
		else{
			$scope.item = null;
		}
		$scope.modalListItem = modal;
		$scope.modalListItem.show();
	});
}

vm.closeListItemModal = function () {
	$scope.modalListItem.hide();
	$scope.modalListItem.remove();
}

Let me know if you have any questions. Hope this helps some of you guys.
