Can't retrieve, reset or update select2 options

Question

Please see this jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/L1tns1yh/1/

First, it doesn't retrieve proper .select2('data')

Then, clicking the button doesn't reset the options, tried different ways I've found on the internets...

You could try the following, i dont realy like this solution but it works if you create a new select2:

$button.click(function () {
  $('#select').select2('destroy').empty().select2({allowClear: true,
  placeholder: 'Placeholder...'});
});
