I have a form with a Customer and its properties populating input fields. If the user needs to change the Customer they click on the CustomerName input. A modal opens with a Customer List for them to choose from. There selection populates the input fields in that modal. I need to have that new information put in the already populated input fields. plunkr <div class="form-group"> <div class="input-group"> <span class="input-group-addon">C.
