$compile doesn't link elements with parent form when compiled from html string.

[mr-moon]

Take a look at this plunker.

It has 4 fields inside the $form form. The first field is inline declared, others are injected via directive. All 3 fields create links to the model on the parent scope. However, only last element, that was precompiled with jQuery has link to the $form.

Nested ng-form group doesn't help either.

@mr-moon Thanks for reporting this, but this works the way it is expected. If you would like to assign a scope and add the element at the same time, you have to do

$compile('<fieldset>...</fieldset>')(scope, function(clone) {
  $element.append(clone)
});

I am going to close this issue, if you need any future help, please use the mailing list

@lgalfaso thank you very much for the solution. I wish I could read about this from the docs. The fact that model links were ok made me thinking that there's something wrong about it.

Ah, found comprehensive explanation on compiler: https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/compiler
