Actually your value is set  but your selectpicker is not refreshed  As you can read from documentation  https   silviomoreto github io bootstrap-select methods  selectpickerval  The right way to do this would be      selectpicker   selectpicker  val   1     For multiple values you can add array of values      selectpicker   selectpicker  val    1   2

No refresh is needed if the  val -parameter is used for setting the value  see fiddle  Use brackets for the value to enable multiple selected values       selectpicker   selectpicker  val    1

A slight variation of blushrt s answer for when you do not have  hard coded  values for options  i e  1  2  3  4 etc    Let s say you render a  lt select gt  with options values being GUIDs of some users  Then you will need to somehow extract the value of the option in order to set it on the  lt select gt    In the following we select the first option of the select   HTML    lt select name  selValue  class  selectpicker  gt      lt option value  CD23E546-9BD8-40FD-BD9A-3E2CBAD81A39  gt Dennis lt  option gt      lt option value  4DDCC643-0DE2-4B78-8393-33A716E3AFF4  gt Robert lt  option gt      lt option value  D3017807-86E2-4E56-9F28-961202FFF095  gt George lt  option gt      lt option value  991C2782-971E-41F8-B532-32E005F6A349  gt Ivanhoe lt  option gt   lt  select gt    Javascript      Initialize the select picker     select name selValue    selectpicker        Extract the value of the first option  var sVal      select name selValue  option first   val        Set the  selected  value of the  lt select gt      select name selValue    val sVal       Force a refresh     select name selValue    selectpicker  refresh      We used this in a select with the multiple keyword  lt select multiple gt   In this case nothing is selected per default  but we wanted the first item to always be selected

The value is correctly selected  but you didn t see it because the plugin hide the real select and show a button with an unordered list  so  if you want that the user see the selected value on the select you can do something like this     Get the text using the value of select var text      select name selValue  option value  1     text      We need to show the text inside the span that the plugin show     bootstrap-select  filter-option   text text     Check the selected attribute for the real select    select name selValue    val 1     Edit   Like  blushrt points out  a better solution is      select name selValue    val 1       selectpicker   selectpicker  refresh     Edit 2   To select multiple values  pass the values as an array
