SELECT2  lt  V4   Step  1  HTML  lt input name  quot mySelect2 quot  type  quot hidden quot  id  quot mySelect2 quot  gt   Step  2  Create an instance of Select2    quot  mySelect2 quot   select2         placeholder   quot My Select 2 quot         multiple  false        minimumInputLength  1        ajax              url   quot  elements all quot             dataType   json             quietMillis  250            data  function term  page                  return                     q  term                                          results  function data  page                  return  results  data                          cache  true                formatResult  function element             return element text          element id                       formatSelection  function element             return element text          element id                       escapeMarkup  function m              return m               Step  3  Set your desired value    quot  mySelect2 quot   select2  data     id  quot elementID quot   text   quot Hello  quot       If you use select2 without AJAX you can do as follow   lt select name  quot mySelect2 quot  id  quot mySelect2 quot  gt     lt option value  quot 0 quot  gt One lt  option gt     lt option value  quot 1 quot  gt Two lt  option gt     lt option value  quot 2 quot  gt Three lt  option gt   lt  select gt       quot One quot  will be the selected option        name mySelect2    val  quot 0 quot     You can also do so     quot  mySelect2 quot   select2  quot val quot    quot 0 quot       SELECT2 V4   For select2 v4 you can append directly an option s as follow   lt select id  quot myMultipleSelect2 quot  multiple  quot  quot  name  quot myMultipleSelect2   quot  gt       lt option value  quot TheID quot  selected  quot selected quot  gt The text lt  option gt                                                                      lt  select gt   Or with JQuery  var  newOption      quot  lt option selected  selected  gt  lt  option gt  quot   val  quot TheID quot   text  quot The text quot        quot  myMultipleSelect2 quot   append  newOption  trigger  change     other example    quot  myMultipleSelect2 quot   val 5  trigger  change

If you are using an Input box  you must set the  multiple  property with its value as  true   For example    lt script gt        document  ready function               var arr      id  100  text   Lorem Ipsum 1                   id  200  text   Lorem Ipsum 2                  inputID   select2               data  arr              width  200              multiple  true                      lt  script gt

Just to add to anyone else who may have come up with the same issue with me   I was trying to set the selected option of my dynamically loaded options  from AJAX  and was trying to set one of the options as selected depending on some logic   My issue came because I wasn t trying to set the selected option based on the ID which needs to match the value  not the value matching the name

In Select2 V 4  use      selector   select2   val value to select  trigger  change     I think it should work

inputID   val  100   select2      It would be more appropriate to apply select2 after choosing one of the current select

For Ajax  use     select2   val     trigger  change    That should solve the problem

I think you need the initSelection function       programid   select2     placeholder   Select a Program     allowClear  true    minimumInputLength  3    ajax        url   ajax php       dataType   json       quietMillis  200      data  function  term  page          return           term  term    search term         flag   selectprogram           page  page    page number                     results  function  data          return  results  data                initSelection  function  element  callback        var id     element  val        if  id                   ajax  ajax php get where             data   programid  id           dataType   json           done function  data              each data  function  i  value              callback   text   value text   id   value id                                                 dropdownCssClass   bigdrop     escapeMarkup  function  m    return m

Nice and easy   document getElementById  select2-id city-container   innerHTML    Your Text Here     And you change id city to your select s id   Edit  After Glen s comment I realize I should explain why and how it worked for me   I had made select2 working really nice for my form  The only thing I couldn t make work was to show the current selected value when editing  It was searching a third party API  saving new and editing old records  After a while I realized I didn t need to set the value correctly  only the label inside field  because if the user doesn t change the field  nothing happens  After searching and looking to a lot of people having trouble with it  I decided make it with pure Javascript  It worked and I posted to maybe help someone  I also suggest to set a timer for it

Sometimes  select2   will be loading firstly  and that makes the control not to show previously selected value correctly  Putting a delay for some seconds can resolve this problem   setTimeout function                              costcentreid   select2                     3000
