javascript - Angular blur validation preventing submission of separate form -

i have angular page form adding people, , button (outside form) submit list of people.

when user focuses on text input in form, , clicks submit list, validation error text input appears submit event never occurs.

an example of issue here: http://plnkr.co/edit/6z0uus

<div ng-controller="myctrl vm">   <form name="form1" novalidate="">     <input type="text" name="field1" ng-model="vm.name" required>     <div ng-messages="form1.field1.$error" ng-if="form1.field1.$touched">       <label ng-message="required">name required</label>     </div>     <!--      form adds person list. i've not included code keep example simple      <input type="submit" value="add person">      -->   </form>   <button ng-click="vm.submit()">submit list</button> </div> 

-

angular.module('myapp',[]) .controller('myctrl', function() {     var vm = this;      vm.name = '';      vm.submit = function () {         alert('submitted');         }; }); 

to replicate:

1. click on text input leave blank
2. click submit

current behavior: "name required" appears validation. clicking 'submit' again displays 'submitted' alert.

expected behavior: "name required" appears validation and 'submitted' alert appears.

desired behavior: 'submitted' alert appears , add code vm.submit() hide 'name required' validation message it's not important when list submitted.

i've observed removing ng-messages block fixes issue, need show validation message. using more basic directive (ng-show) show validation message instead not help.

any insights i'm doing wrong, or workarounds achieve desired behavior, great!

[modified answer] : here working plunker : http://plnkr.co/edit/jcyri8xp4l3ftafabbls?p=preview

vm.preventdefaultifsubmitted = function($event){ if($event.relatedtarget.id == "submit"){     $event.stopimmediatepropagation();   } }; 

the idea $event when blur occurs , @ id of relatedtarget (which button in case) , if cancel $event, otherwise keep it.

that way if click anywhere validation message appears , if click on submit doesnt
