AngularJS - ngRepeat and ngModel - angularjs

Question

I have spent the better part of a few hours writing and re-writing this, and am probably just going to write my own directive here if there isn't an answer.
I have a columnized display of inputs, 10 in each of the 6 columns. I am using 2 ngRepeat directives to display them. I am placing 6 fiddles below with my varied attempts at getting them to work right. The problem is, when I use an array of objects, all the data are updated simultaneously. View Fiddle #1 below to see the example.
Here is a quick snippet of the code, which you can also see on the fiddle page. If anyone has some pointers or a way to get #1, #2, or #6 to work, please let me know!
HTML:
<div ng-controller='EntryCtrl'>
<div class="span2" ng-repeat="a in [0,1,2,3,4,5]">
<div ng-repeat="i in entry.slice($index*10, ($index*10)+10)" ng-class="{'control-group': true, error: !entry[($parent.$index*10)+$index].correct}">{{($parent.$index*10)+$index}}<input type="text" class="span12" id="entry-{{($parent.$index*10)+$index}}" ng-model="entry[($parent.$index*10)+$index].input" /></div>
</div>
</div>
Javascript:
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
myApp.controller('EntryCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope) {
$scope.entry=filledArray(60,{input:'',correct:true});
}]);
function filledArray(len, val) {
var rv = new Array(len);
while (--len >= 0) {
rv[len] = val;
}
return rv;
}
Fiddle #1: Array of objects using ng-model pointing to entry using $index and $parent.$index: http://jsfiddle.net/DFEkG/ -- All models update simultaneously
Fiddle #2: Array of objects using ng-model pointing to i instead of $index: http://jsfiddle.net/DFEkG/1/ -- All models update simultaneously
Fiddle #3: Array using ng-model pointing to entry using $index and $parent.$index: http://jsfiddle.net/DFEkG/2/ -- Weird behavior
Fiddle #4 Array using ng-model pointed to i instead of $index: http://jsfiddle.net/DFEkG/3/ -- Broken
Fiddle #5 Array using only $index and $parent.$index and array only in ng-repeat directive: http://jsfiddle.net/DFEkG/4/ -- WORKS! But not as object
Fiddle #6 Same as technique as 5, but with an object: http://jsfiddle.net/DFEkG/5/ -- Same as fiddles 1 and 2

Answer 1

The problem is in your filledArray function. It assigns the same exact object to each array item. The same object {input: '', correct: true} is referenced in all 60 instances.
So, to fix it you can simply make a new copy of it on each iteration:
function filledArray(len, val) {
var rv = new Array(len);
while (--len >= 0) {
rv[len] = angular.copy(val);
}
return rv;
}
Fiddle.
