title: Can I use [formControl] without also needing [formGroup]?
body: <p>I am using a  dropdown in my UI, but when I come to use <code>[formControl]</code> I am getting the error thrown:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Cannot find control with unspecified name attribute</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am using ReactiveFormsModule in my <code>app.module.ts</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I have Google'd and found that a solution is to use [formGroup] in the parent <code>div</code>, but I'm unsure of how to implement properly as I am defining my <code>formControl</code> from within a <code>subscribe</code>.</p>
  
  <p><strong>myComp.component.html</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="exceptional-status"&gt;
    &lt;select #exceptionalSelect id="excep-status-dropdown" [formControl]="select"&gt;
      &lt;option disabled value="default"&gt;--Exceptional statuses--&lt;/option&gt;
      &lt;!-- other options here with *ngFor --&gt;
    &lt;/select&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>myComp.component.ts</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>select: FormControl;
  
  mySubscription() {
    this.myService.myFunct.subscribe(res =&gt; {
      this.select = new FormControl(res.status)
    });
  }
  </code></pre>
