Form never shows up in $scope variable when created using ng-repeat

[Siraris]

I am using ng-repeat to create a variable number of forms to manage some records from our database. Everything works fine, except $scope never picks up the forms, and thus, I never have access to the forms themselves in Angular. If I explicitly define multiple forms outside of the ng-repeat directive, Angular picks them up fine and they appear inside of $scope.

I'm pretty sure this is a bug, but if not, I'd appreciate any insight on how to get my forms to show up in the $scope chain.

Thanks!

Can you provide a running code example on Plunker or the like?

If you look at the console in this example after pressing submit, you will see that there is no property for either form on $scope. To my knowledge, I have no way of accessing the form from the controller unless it's stored on the $scope.

Mind if I ask for some use cases for wanting to access these dynamically rendered forms from $scope?

I want to be able to call setPristine() on the form after any dirty fields have been submitted.

Or what if I want to do some validation on the forms?

Your problem is that you are not allowed to have dynamically interpolated
form names. Here is a working example:
