How to change display value when editing form?

[sinall]

I have a dropdown and a text input, when editing, I want to change the text of the input if dropdown is changed.

[some text] => I want to change view value of this input
[dropdown] => if a new option is selected

I tried to set editableForm['name of input']['$viewValue'] or set editableForm.$data['name of input'], but didn't work.

Here's the demo.

Maybe this previous issue with help #521

@ckosloski The user case is different. In my case, I want to change the display value, regardless it is triggered by dropdown or a button. I don't want to save the display value to model until user click the save button.

The real case is like this:
[0 0/1 9 * * * or 2020-05-29 09:40:00] => I want to change view value of this input
[CRON or FIXED_TIME] => if a new option is selected
I use single input field to save the expression which could be a CRON expression or a DATA TIME expression. So it will have very different formats according to its type.

For example:
[2020-05-29 09:40:00] => change display value to empty
[FIXED_TIME] => if option is changed to CRON
In this case, I want only the view value get changed, if will be saved to model if save is clicked or will be discard if cancel is clicked.

I guess I could use jQuery to change the input value, but I don't what will happen, and I don't know if angular-xeditable have such API to achieve this.

Try this demo
Change the group drop down and the user name changes.

@ckosloski Demo
It can‘t be saved into model when save is clicked. So the view-model binding is broken. Somehow this method is different from user manually change.

Are you referring to the error message Username should be `awesome` or `error?
That was in the original demo link you posted.

No, I changed the link several times, it should be this demo.
