I am using bootstrap select Bootstrap-select v1.7.2 in Angular. When I select some option from drop down it selects some other option.
Plunker is setup here:

(code is in dashboard.html and dashboard.js)
That's how I am creating it. bootstrap-dropdown is the directive that initiates the drop-down.
<form role="form" name="frmVariableConfig" ng-submit="vm.saveChanges()">
<select ng-model="vm.CurrCustomer.Logic" name="ddlLogic" check-validation class="validate[required]" bootstrap-dropdown >
<option ng-repeat="logic in vm.Logics" value="{{logic.value}}">{{logic.displayName}}</option>
</select>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-sm text-right">Save</button>
</form>
This should fix your problem. You need a blank state option. Also it helps to use ng-options rather than using ng-repeat in the option. Hope this solves your problem!
<div ng-controller="dashboard as vm">
<div class="block-area">
<div class="row col-md-12 ">
<h3 class="block-title"> {{vm.title}}</h3>
<form role="form" name="frmVariableConfig" ng-submit="vm.saveChanges()">
<select required ng-model="vm.CurrCustomer.Logic" name="ddlLogic" check-validation class="validate[required]" ng-options="logic.displayName for logic in vm.Logics track by logic.displayName" bootstrap-dropdown >
<option value="">Pick One</option>
</select>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-sm text-right">Save</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
You should use ng-options to populate the option elements of a select input.
Like so:
<select ng-model="vm.CurrCustomer.Logic" data-ng-options="logic.displayName for logic in vm.Logics track by logic.value" name="ddlLogic" check-validation class="validate[required]" bootstrap-dropdown >
<option value="">Select...</option>
</select>
EDIT
Use the following:
<select ng-model="vm.CurrCustomer.Logic" data-ng-options="logic.displayName for logic in vm.Logics" check-validation class="validate[customFunc]" bootstrap-dropdown>
<option style="display:none" value="">Select</option>
</select>
where customFunc
is a new custom validation function you create to check that the selected value is not ""
