Ember select not binding to a property in the model - ember.js

Question

If I understand the ember.js documentation correctly then I should see the models systemStatus value get populated, but I'm not:
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-2 control-label" for="name">Description</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
{{view "select" content=statuses value=model.systemStatus }}
</div>
</div>
This is the controller:
import Ember from "ember";
export default Ember.Controller.extend({
statuses: ["Being Built", "Active","Inactive"],
selectedSystemStatus: 'Active',
actions: {
save: function() {
// this.model.set('systemStatus', this.selectedStatus);
var s = this.get('selectedSystemStatus');
this.model.save();
},
cancel: function() {
}
}
});
The model:
import DS from "ember-data";
export default DS.Model.extend({
name: DS.attr('string', {defaultValue: 'Hello'}),
systemStatus: DS.attr('string', {defaultValue: 'Active'}),
description: DS.attr('string', {defaultValue: 'Describe me'})
});
The router:
import Ember from "ember";
export default Ember.Route.extend({
model: function() {
return this.store.createRecord('software-system');
}
});
Everything works up until you try to select an option from the UI. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, and would like some help.

Answer 1

do you have any place where you call this.store.find('my-model')? This is where the model gets populated.
The default way would be to put it into a corresponding route in the model hook:
// routes/my-model.js
export default Ember.Route.extend({
model: function() {
return this.store.find('my-model');
}
});
With this approach, your controller will wait until the model is loaded.
