Answer 1

Make sure the value you are set to the field, is available in the value option of the fields

Suppose the value set to the options of the select dropdown is id like 2, 3, 4 then you need to set the same value so that the name will get visible there

In the above case, as you share the data with structure, you need to get the all id's into the one array-like

languageID = [2, 3, 4, 5]

and patch it to the field directly

   this.form.patchvalue({ languageid: this.languageID })
