Research direction
Investigate the ui grid footer template implementation to understand how variables are passed to the link function. The issue concerns external scope variables being undefined in the link function but defined in the template. Check the directive scope binding and possibly the plnkr link for reproduction. If the plnkr is unavailable, replicate by creating a simple grid with a custom footer template.
