How to $state.go()

What would always work is the full state definition:

// instead of this
// $state.go('.detail', {
// use this
$state.go('company.detail', {
    id: $scope.selectedItem.id //selectedItem and id is defined
});

In doc there are defined these options, but they depend on CURRENT state:

to string
Absolute state name or relative state path. Some examples:

• $state.go(‘contact.detail’) – will go to the contact.detail state
• $state.go(‘^’) – will go to a parent state
• $state.go(‘^.sibling’) – will go to a sibling state
• $state.go(‘.child.grandchild’) – will go to grandchild state
