Why is originalObject property needed in selectedObject?

Hi, I use your directive in my project, it is awesome and I like it a lot. However I can’t understand one special moment - when I define selectedObject attribute as one of my models, I can’t use it directly, for example, to extract values from it in submit logic. All values I need are put in originalObject property which is inside selectedObject. There is a workaround though - if I set selectedObject as a function, I can set my model to whatever I want using originalObject or anything else. But it looks a bit overcomplicated, shouldn’t this be simpler?

Some Edits to YuniorGlez code as error originalObject of undefined was coming

function callOrAssign(value) { if (typeof scope.selectedObject === ‘function’) { scope.selectedObject(value, scope.selectedObjectData); } else if(value) { scope.selectedObject = value.originalObject; }else{ scope.selectedObject = value; } if (value) { handleRequired(true); } else { handleRequired(false); } }
