AngularJS Set Default Option - ng-options

Question

There are several questions like this one, but none of those worked for me. Simply stated, using ng-options, I am getting data from a MYSQL db and I want to put the value from the DB as the selected value of a select element. The select element populates with the list of data just fine

JS

$scope.cwsi = $scope.cws[3];

HTML - This does not work

<select ng-options="cw as cw.initials for cw in cws" ng-model="cwsi"></select>    

HTML - This does work

<select ng-options="cw as cw.initials for cw in cws" ng-model="cws[3]"></select>

$scope.cws is an array of objects that contains an id, initials, and a name

What am I doing wrong here? Thank you

I was using a dialog box in a different scope.
