title: Angular - update a table cell
body: <p>In my angular app I have the typical table iterator via ng-repeat.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;table class="table table-bordered table-condensed table-striped"&gt;  
      &lt;tbody&gt;
         &lt;tr ng-repeat="assay in assays"&gt;
            &lt;td&gt;
            &lt;td key="id"&gt;{{assay.id}}&lt;/td&gt;
            &lt;td key="source"&gt;{{assay.source}}&lt;/td&gt;
            &lt;td key="status"&gt;{{assay.status}}&lt;/td&gt;
          ... etc ...
         &lt;/tr&gt;
      &lt;/tbody&gt;
  &lt;/table&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Using a button a user makes a change in a modal dialog. This is all working fine, but I want to update a single cell in the table with the result; I have the id of the row as well as the field name.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible in Angular to access a single cell, or even update the entire row, if you have the index? At present I am achieving this by refreshing all the table data from the remote server... not ideal.</p>
  
  <p>I guess I am looking for something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>assays[id].status = 'great!'
  </code></pre>
