Not what OP asked  but for any soul that might be as well writing an userscript that goes through input fields and fills the required details  Nothing  fully  worked for me  but finally managed to get it done this way  var el       sp formfield fw ip    el val  quot some value quot    angular element el  triggerHandler  focus    angular element el  triggerHandler  input    angular element el  triggerHandler  change    angular element el  triggerHandler  blur     Open developer tools  and inspect input field for added events  There I found all of them  in my case   focus  input  change and blur

I don t think jQuery is required here   You can use  watch and ng-click instead   lt div ng-app  myApp  gt     lt div ng-controller  MyCtrl  gt       lt input test-change ng-model  foo    gt       lt span gt   foo   lt  span gt        lt button ng-click   foo   xxx    gt click me lt  button gt       lt  -- this changes foo value  you can also call a function from your controller -- gt     lt  div gt   lt  div gt    In your controller      scope  watch  foo   function newValue  oldValue      console log newValue     console log oldValue

You have to use the following code in order to update the scope of the specific input model as follows     button   on  click   function        var newVal     this  data  val           select   val newVal  change         var scope   angular element    select    scope        scope  apply function            scope selectValue   newVal

I know it s a bit late to answer here but maybe I may save some once s day   I have been dealing with the same problem  A model will not populate once you update the value of input from jQuery  I tried using trigger events but no result   Here is what I did that may save your day   Declare a variable within your script tag in HTML   Like    lt script gt   var inputValue         update that variable using your jQuery function with appropriate value  you want      lt  script gt    Once you did that by using below service of angular       window   Now below getData function called from the same controller scope will give you the value you want   var myApp   angular module  myApp         app controller  imageManagerCtrl     scope    window  function  scope  window      scope getData   function          console log  Window value      window inputValue

I made modifications on only controller initialization by adding listener on action button     document  on  click     action-button   function               timeout function                   angular element     input    triggerHandler  input                      Other solutions did not work in my case

ngModel listens for  input  event  so to  fix  your code you d need to trigger that event after setting the value      button   click function        var input      input        input val  xxx        input trigger  input       Use for Chrome Firefox Edge     input trigger  change       Use for Chrome Firefox Edge   IE11       For the explanation of this particular behaviour check out this answer that I gave a while ago   How does AngularJS internally catch events like  onclick    onchange       But unfortunately  this is not the only problem you have  As pointed out with other post comments  your jQuery-centric approach is plain wrong  For more info take a look at this post  How do I    think in AngularJS    if I have a jQuery background

The accepted answer which was triggering input event with jQuery didn t work for me  Creating an event and dispatching with native JavaScript did the trick      input   0  dispatchEvent new Event  input     bubbles  true
