Anyone else had issues with the 'edit' portion?

Has anyone else had this issue? -when I follow along and add the 'edit' button, the app doesn't seem to prepopulate the form with the person's info, nor allow me to edit. I can't seem to catch anything I've done differently, maybe a script revision since this video was made?

The "edit" button works fine for me. As long as $scope.edit sets editingPerson to a person object and each input is binded to a property on editingPerson then the problem must be elsewhere.

I initially had an issue with this too but I noticed around the 2:37 mark on the video he pastes in a form that initially isn't in the index.html form. It's pretty easy to miss but that form is what enables you the edit function to work in it's entirety. Here's the form he pasted in, hope that helped!

<form class="fields">
        <label>
          Name:
          <input type="text" ng-model="editingPerson.name" />
        </label>
        <label>
          Profession:
          <input type="text" ng-model="editingPerson.profession" />
        </label>
        <label>
          Hometown:
          <input type="text" ng-model="editingPerson.hometown" />
        </label>
</form>
