hi there,

I m showing a table on the dashboard using ng-repeat in a template node. One column is a text input.  
How ever I am not able to get the value of the text input back into js.  
I think because of the ng-repeat..  
Where is my mistake?

Can anyone help me out?

    <tr>
        <td><input type="text" ng-model="x.input" ng-dblclick="send({payload: x})" /> </td>
        <td>{{ x.name }}</td>
        <td>{{ x.age }}</td>

works for me, thank you 🙂

If I want to go one step further and only want the input in the lines in which no value comes from my function node, would that be possible?

You can do

```auto
ng-dblclick="send({payload: x.input})" 

```

... But why would you. You won't know which row it came from.

I wanted to complete the table which is generated from an incomplete database via the input and display the completed input ..

but if this is not possible i will do it in a different way..
