Within a select list, I have set one option to be selected by default using ng-selected. However, when submitting the form with the default option selected through the post method, it does not show up in the post variables. Interestingly, if I change the selection to another option and then back to the default, it works fine.
<select class="form-control" ng-model="newItem.if_unmard_rsn">
<option value="Under age" ng-selected="'Under Age'">Under Age
</option>
<option value="Health Issue">Health Issue
</option>
<option value="Economical Issue">Economical Issue
</option>
<option value="No reason">No Reason
</option>
</select>
