AngularJS passing data to bootstrap modal

Question

I think I'm missing something but cannot figure what.
Basically I'm trying to pass an object to the modal like below, but instead of getting the passed object I gets null...so I think is a problem with the scope but I'm new in Angular and need some help.

Controller

app.controller("musicViewModel", function ($scope, $http, $location, $uibModal, $log) {

$scope.selected = null;

$scope.open = function (item) {

    $scope.selected = item;

    $log.info('Open' + $scope.selected); // get right passes object

    var modalInstance = $uibModal.open({
        templateUrl: 'myModalContent.html',
        controller: 'musicViewModel',
        size: 'lg',
        resolve: {
            items: function () {
                return $scope.selected;
            }
        }
    });
};

$scope.toggleAnimation = function () {
    $scope.animationsEnabled = !$scope.animationsEnabled;
};
});

View

<div class="row" ng-controller="musicViewModel">
    <script type="text/ng-template" id="myModalContent.html">
        <div class="modal-header">
            <h3 class="modal-title">I'm a modal!</h3>
        </div>
        <div class="modal-body">
            <ul>
                <li>
                    {{ selected }} // always gets null
                </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </script>
</div>

I'd suggest you to pass the scope of your own controller instead of passing same controller again, by doing that you can remove the resolve also.

var modalInstance = $uibModal.open({
    templateUrl: 'myModalContent.html',
    scope: $scope, //passed current scope to the modal
    size: 'lg'
});

Otherwise you need to create a new controller and assign that controller for modal while opening it.
