How do I set value of a Select2 field?

dcdc

Hello -

LONG time user of DataTables, still learning about Editor.

I am attempting to set the value of a field in Editor which is marked as a "Select2" field type which uses as set of objects in the format {label: "xxxxxx", value: "xxxxx"}

I am able to set other Select2 fields if using an array of values (of which each index is used as both label and value), but not a field which is using a set of Objects.

I am cycling through the array of Options directly from the Editor's field instance, and setting the value if there is a match to another value.

I have tried setting the value to a matching object of the exact same structure, setting it to the value: of the object, setting it to the label: of the object. nothing is working.

Thanks very much.

Hi @dcdc ,

You should just be able to say:

editor.field(your_field).set([{ label: 'red', value: 11 }, { label: 'white', value: 22 }, { label: 'blue', value: 33 }]);

When you say nothing is working, are you seeing console errors? Is the field appearing empty? If you could link to the page, that would be helpful.

Cheers,

Colin
