Is there a way to decouple the editable-text attribute and input about angular-xeditable

[vitalets]

@dreadjr could you give an example what you mean?

[dreadjr]

@vitalets For example

user.name = "original field"
user.name_ = editted user.name field (preserve the original)

javascript

user: {
  name: "joe the boxer"
}

html

<a href="#" editable-text="user.name_">{{ user.name_ || user.name || 'empty' }}</a>

So when it renders it shows "joe the boxer" and when you click it, it shows an empty input box. The empty input box is the thing i am trying to fix. I would like it to display user.name.

If i type into the input box the resulting model would change

user: {
  name: "joe the boxer",
  name_: "just joe"
}

Does that make sense? @vitalets i updated the example, my bad about the code.

github eaten your link examples, put it like this <a ...>.
But anyway, your final task is to preserve original value and let user reset to it, yes?
first , just to notice, xeditale writes to model only after user clicks on submit button. if you change text and then press cancel - your model will not change. is not it what you need?
