Add selected options to Select2

I'm using Select2 in "Ajax mode" so I get the options from an API endpoint. But I need to prefill it with some selected options via Javascript after the user starts to type.

I've try to append it to the <select></select> and also to the rendered list, but I can't get it right.

Solution

  • In case that someone is struggling with the same

    var option = new Option("text", "id");
option.selected = true;

$("#id").append(option);
$("#id").trigger("change");
