I am using select2 jquery function. To create a drop down with multiple selections. I am able to do it. Now I need to select a few options from the drop down list as default data. Can you help me? 

data = [{id:1,text:"abc"},{id:2,text:"qwe"},{id:3,text:"def"}]; 
 
 $("#test").select2({ theme: "bootstrap", data: dat });
 
 
 
 // select option 2 as default selected I used below code
 // but it is not working..  
   $("#test").select2("val", 2);

    As mentioned in this http://stackoverflow.com/a/30477163/1225070 the .select2('val') The "val" method has been deprecated and will be removed in Select2 4.1. You can try $('#test').val('1').trigger('change'); – Aefits May 13 '17 at 12:47
  • yes this does help... but I am not able to select multiple values in 'val' :( – nimra asad May 13 '17 at 12:52
