How do I change selected value of select2 dropdown with JqGrid

Question

I m using Oleg s select2 demo  but I am wondering whether it would be possible to change the currently selected value in the dropdown menu   For example  if the four values loaded were   Any    Fruit    Vegetable    Meat  and the dropdown list defaulted to  Any   how would I be able to change that to  Fruit  in the JqGrid event loadComplete   Is this possible

Having some troubles with setting a String option selected in a select2:

With the option: "option string1 /option" used:

$('#select').val("string1").change();

BUT with an option with a value: option value "E" string1 /option :

$('#select').val("E").change(); // you must enter the Value instead of the string

Hopes this help someone struggling with the same issue.

For select2 version    4 0 0  The other solutions might not work  however the following examples should work   Solution 1  Causes all attached change events to trigger  including select2     select   val  1   trigger  change      Solution 2  Causes JUST select2 change event to trigger     select   val  1   trigger  change select2      See this jsfiddle for examples of these  Thanks to  minlare for Solution 2   Explanation   Say I have a best friend select with people s names  So Bob  Bill and John  in this example I assume the Value is the same as the name   First I initialize select2 on my select       my-best-friend   select2      Now I manually select Bob in the browser  Next Bob does something naughty and I don t like him anymore  So the system unselects Bob for me       my-best-friend   val     trigger  change      Or say I make the system select the next in the list instead of Bob      I have assume you can write code to select the next guy in the list     my-best-friend   val  Bill   trigger  change        Notes on Select 2 website  see Deprecated and removed methods  that might be useful for others    select2  val   The  val  method has been deprecated and will be removed in Select2 4 1  The deprecated method no longer includes the triggerChange parameter   You should directly call  val on the underlying  element instead  If you needed the second parameter  triggerChange   you should also call  trigger  change   on the element      select   val  1   trigger  change       instead of    select   select2  val    1

You have two options - as  PanPipes answer states you can do the following     element  val val  trigger  change      This is an acceptable solution only if one doesn t have any custom actions binded to the change event  The solution I use in this situation is to trigger a select2 specific event which updates the select2 displayed selection     element  val val  trigger  change select2

For V4 Select2 if you want to change both the value of the select2 and the text representation of the drop down   var intValueOfFruit   1  var selectOption   new Option  Fruit   intValueOfFruit  true  true       select   append selectOption  trigger  change      This will set not only the value behind the scenes but also the text display for the select2   Pulled from https   select2 github io announcements-4 0 html removed-methods

Looking at the select2 docs you use the below to get set the value       select   select2  val      get the value     select   select2  val    CA      set the value    PanPipes has pointed out that this has changed for 4 x  go toss him an upvote below   val is now called directly      select   val  CA     So within the loadComplete of the jqGrid you can get whatever value you are looking for then set the selectbox value   Notice from the docs     Notice that in order to use this method you must define the   initSelection function in the options so Select2 knows how to   transform the id of the object you pass in val   to the full object it   needs to render selection  If you are attaching to a select element   this function is already provided for you
