Current behavior

Added disabled attribute bound to boolean property (reactive form). Toggling the property has no effect.

There was a warning about using the disabled attribute and they provided an example:

first: new FormControl({value: 'Nancy', disabled: true}, Validators.required

Added that construct to my form (using form-builder but should be the same thing and that does not work either.

Workaround: just call enabled() or disabled() on the form control programatically. The downside is we have a mix of simple disabled attributes bound to a variable and these one-offs because these reactive forms do not work with the disabled attribute normally or as prescribed.

Expected behavior

Either binding the disabled attribute in the template or in the form-builder template or in the FormControl instance works.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

I didn't understand what you're trying to do... Anyway, have you tested <control>.enable() and <control>.disable()?

@ghost The example from the error message works for me. Adding FormBuilder doesn't seem to break anything: http://plnkr.co/edit/lcOkZEydIrbXl0p59nVz?p=preview.

Can you provide a repro case please?

Given no repro case, closing.
