Thanks for the reply.
I can't work in the compile function as I need to use the scope to get
details from the bound model as to what validation is required. In the end
I went the route of your original suggestion which was to compile the
individual elements rather than a blank compile of the whole form. That
stack overflow post which I mentioned previously which suggested that you
needed to recompile the form doesn't seem to hold true after all. In my
first attempt it seemed to be the case but I have managed to get it working
since.
Would still be nice to know the reason for my plunker not working as I
would expect, however I have an alternative which I can go with for now.
