AngularJS checkbox placed inside ng-repeat not binding

Question

I have a checkbox (bound to a model), placed inside an ng-repeat tag which iterates over a list.

I want to send a value "YES" or "NO" depending on whether the box is checked or not to the controller using the ng-true-value and ng-false-value attributes.

But for some reason, the $scope.value2 is not getting updated in the controller.

Here is a jsFiddle with my problem:: http://jsfiddle.net/HmvgW/

Note: If I place the checkbox outside the ng-repeat tag, the YES/NO value is sent correctly to the controller.

How do I send a value to checkbox clicked value to the controller if I place it inside the ng-repeat tag?

Thanks!

It's a scope issue. ng-repeat creates a new child scope with each loop. If you want to access the parent scope from within the child, you can do so with $parent.value2.

Yes, I got it working by adding the $parent.value to the input tag.

<input type="checkbox" ng-model="$parent.value2"                    ng-true-value="YES" ng-false-value="NO" ng-click="value2Clicked()">

Thanks!
