How to bind the Id of a select box selection - angularjs

I have a select box that displays GeoAreaName, I need the GeoAreaId of that selection to populate a input field. I have done something similar with a typeahead input but I am unable to apply it here.
plunkr
<label>Geo Area:</label>
<select ng-controller="JobMiscCtrl" ng-model="currentItem.GeoAreaName" ng-options="job.GeoAreaName for job in geoAreaArray">
<option value=""></option>
</select>
<input type="number" ng-model="currentItem.GeoAreaId" />

I have edited your plunker. http://plnkr.co/edit/Ms3qPcwj6dxVF3y75ljZ?p=preview
You had 2 problems.
Your input field was out of the scope of your ng-controller declaration
Your ng-options expression needed to be slightly different.
<select
ng-model="currentItem"
ng-options="job.GeoAreaId as job.GeoAreaName for job in geoAreaArray">
<option value=""></option>
</select>

Pre-select option in select with ng-repeat

How can I pre-select an option, when I have the options repeated using ng-repeat, as so:
<select data-ng-model="info.country" ng-change="changeCountry()" name="country" required>
<!-- <option selected disabled hidden value=''></option> -->
<option data-ng-repeat="country in countries" value="{{country.id}}">{{country.countryName}}</option>
</select>
The data-ng-model returns the number 3 , the method ng-change="changeCountry()" uses the same number in its implementation.
I need the pre-selected item to be 3 and not 1 (this will be reduced by 1, since it is an array, but I think you get the idea)
I need to pre-select the item. Is this possible, and how can one achieve such result?
CodePen here.
ng-repeat on <options> converts id to string. This is a reason why it doesn't work.
{"country":3} vs {"country":"3"}
You can solve it by using ng-options:
<select data-ng-model="info.country"
ng-change="changeCountry()" name="country"
ng-options="c.id as c.countryName for c in countries"
required>
</select>
I managed to achieve this by using ng-options:
<select ng-options="country.id as country.countryName for country in countries" ng-model="info.country" ng-change="changeCountry()" name="country" required></select>

ngOptions setting value attribute of option to unexpected values

I have some doubts with using ngoptions. I am not able to set value attribute for the option items.Here is example plunker
$scope.ListOfValues=[{optiontext:'Active',optionvalue:'opt1'},
{optiontext:'inactive',optionvalue:'opt2'},
{optiontext:'terminated',optionvalue:'opt3'}];
And my html code is
<select id="emptype" ng-model="empstatus" ng-options="emp.optionvalue as emp.optiontext for emp in ListOfValues">
</select>
The generated html is as shown below.
<select id="emptype" ng-model="empstatus" ng-options="emp.optionvalue as emp.optiontext for emp in ListOfValues" class="ng-valid ng-dirty ng-valid-parse ng-touched">
<option value="string:opt1" label="Active">Active</option>
<option value="string:opt2" label="inactive">inactive</option>
<option value="string:opt3" label="terminated">terminated</option>
</select>
I was expecting it to be as shown below
<select id="emptype" ng-model="empstatus" ng-options="emp.optionvalue as emp.optiontext for emp in ListOfValues" class="ng-valid ng-dirty ng-valid-parse ng-touched">
<option value="opt1" label="Active">Active</option>
<option value="opt2" label="inactive">inactive</option>
<option value="opt3" label="terminated">terminated</option>
</select>
So why does it add string: to the value attribute? How i can get my desired output?
It has to deal with 1.3 -> 1.4 Angular version API change - if you check this plunkr (v.1.3) it will show just indexes as values of the <option> tags.
To make it also work with Angular +1.4 you should add the following statement to your ng-options expression track by emp.optionvalue. See this plunkr (v.1.4) .
<select id="emptype"
ng-model="empstatus"
ng-options="emp.optionvalue as emp.optiontext for emp in ListOfValues track by emp.optionvalue">
</select>
But the value of the ng-model is correctly updated in both cases, see {{empstatus}} in template of my examples.
So as #ExplosionPills say that should not be a issue.

Default text in Angular select

By default angular uses an empty value if nothing has been selected in a <select>. How can I change this to a text that says Please select one?
You didnt provide any code so I can't give an example relative to your code, but try adding an option element, e.g.
<select ng-model="item" ng-options="item.category for item in items"
ng-change="doSomething()">
<option value="">Please select one</option>
</select>
Via the ng-selected attribute:
<select>
<option>Hello!</option>
<option ng-selected="selected">Please select one</option>
<option>Another option</option>
</select>

Im looking for way to make a ui-bootstrap type-ahead able to select multiple comma sepereated items

I'm trying to do something like this
but instead of having alert boxes just having comma separated values in the input feild.
Ok I'm trying ui-select2 but I'm not very clear about how to use it. I will provide samples of what I have as a working typeahead and what I have done to try to get the select2 to work.
ui-bootstrap typeahead:
<input type="text" ng-model="selectedItem.value" typeahead="item.value for item in items |filter:$viewValue| limitTo:8" typeahead-on-select="updateItem()" placeholder="select Item"/>
ui-select2 (can't load data.)
<select ui-select2 ng-model="selectedItem.value" data-placeholder="Select Item">
<option value=""></option>
<option ng-repeat="item.value for item in items" value:"{{item.value}}>{{item.label}}</option>
</select>
