Dynamically binding custom directive to ng-repeat - angularjs

Question

my controller has the json for my form then i have a directive that gets repeated to produce the form elements. based on the 'type' passed to the directive, the directive should know how to render the element.
but i don't know why it's not rendering the form templates properly here but that's a separate issue.
my immediate issue is, i can't seen to pass the ng-model and bind it correctly to the template.
does anyone see my problem?
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
myApp.directive('ioProductElement', ['$compile', function ($compile) {
var dropdownTemplate = '<select ng-model="model" ng-options="option.Text for option in data"></select>';
var textAreaTemplate = '<textarea ng-model="model" class="form-control">{{ data }}</textarea>';
var radioListTemplate = '<span ng-repeat="item in data.Items"><input ng-model="model" type="radio" name="{{ data.Name }}" ng-checked="item.Selected" /><label>{{ item.ProductLabel }}</label> </span>';
return {
restrict: 'E',
replace: true,
scope: {
model: '=',
type: '=',
data: '='
},
link: function (scope, element) {
var getTemplate = function (type) {
var template = '';
switch (type) {
case 'SelectListItem':
template = dropdownTemplate;
scope.model = _.find(scope.data, {
Selected: true
});
break;
case 'TextArea':
template = textAreaTemplate;
break;
case 'RadioList':
template = radioListTemplate;
break;
}
return template;
};
element.html(getTemplate(scope.type));
$compile(element.contents())(scope);
}
};
}]);
myApp.controller('DynamicFormController', function () {
this.productElement = {};
this.product = {
ProductName: 'Online Form',
Company: 'TEST',
Data: []
};
this.productItems = [{
ProductLabel: "Status",
ProductType: "SelectListItem",
ProductData: [{
"Text": "Item1",
"Value": "1",
Selected: true
}, {
"Text": "Item2",
"Value": "2"
}]
}, {
ProductLabel: "Publication",
ProductType: "SelectListItem",
ProductData: [{
Text: 'Item1',
Value: '1'
}, {
Text: 'Item2',
Value: '2',
Selected: true
}]
}, {
ProductLabel: "Caption",
ProductType: "TextArea",
ProductData: "this is some data for the textarea"
}, {
ProductLabel: "Display Advertising",
ProductType: "RadioList",
ProductData: {
Name: "classifiedAdvertising",
Items: [{
Text: 'Full Page',
Selected: true
}, {
Text: '1/2 Page'
}]
}
}, {
ProductLabel: "Status2",
ProductType: "SelectListItem",
ProductData: [{
"Text": "Item1",
"Value": "1"
}, {
"Text": "Item2",
"Value": "2"
}, {
"Text": "Item3",
"Value": "3",
Selected: true
}]
}, ];
this.save = function () {
this.product.Data = this.productItems;
console.log('in save', this.product);
};
});

Try To add a break statement in the first switch case
//[...]
switch (type) {
case 'SelectListItem':
template = dropdownTemplate;
scope.model = _.find(scope.data, {
Selected: true
});
break;
case 'TextArea':
template = textAreaTemplate;
break;
case 'RadioList':
template = radioListTemplate;
break;
}
//[...]
