How do I put default values in multiselect about ajax-bootstrap-select HOT 13 CLOSED

You need to insert <option selected> tag before initializing select picker and prevent cache bug by using this code
// Use after init select picker
$('#select-picker').trigger('change').data('AjaxBootstrapSelect').list.cache = {}

You can try from this fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/kinkongjeng/2o7j08kb/

from ajax-bootstrap-select.

Can you post the ajaxSelectPicker code you are using? So we can see your config.

from ajax-bootstrap-select.

The options:

and

$('#reportTemplateGroupFieldValues').selectpicker().ajaxSelectPicker(optionsGroups);

from ajax-bootstrap-select.

So we have an option called preserveSelected which will keep previously selected options between ajax requests. Try adding that to your options hash.

var optionsGroups = {
  ajax: { ... },
  log: 3,
  preprocessData: function(){ ... },
  preserveSelected: true
};

from ajax-bootstrap-select.

Hello, and thanks for the quick answers you give, I have the same problem, I tried with the preserveSelected that you said, and it does not work, I think the problem is that the style of ajaxSelectPicker are not applied, and when I type something it applies the styles and for sure deletes the selected values

If you see the left image the styles are not applied, it should have a 'Current Selected' div and all that stuff

In the next image I clicked on 'Brasil' and now 'Colombia' goes to Currently Selected and then I can type without any problem

Ahh that second image helps. Ok yeah this is a bug. Basically we aren't checking for currently selected on initialization only on update/keydown. It will probably be this weekend before I have time to work on this though.

+1, I also need this for my system. Thanks

@diegoaam @MarkCarver I've spent 5 hours on this so far over multiple days and haven't been able to find out why it can't keep initial selected options yet.

@MarkCarver If you can find time, I'm pushing up a bugfix branch which has what I've done so far, maybe you'll see something. The commit df4b2b5 has the change I made that will save one of the options but not both. I also added a 4th select to the example page for testing this.

I'll have to look at this in more depth later. This month is going to be chaotic for me (family/moving).

Thanks for giving it a quick once over. Just moved myself so fully understand. Good luck!

Adding this 2.0.0 I really want to get this fixed.

from ajax-bootstrap-select.

Can confirm that the fix from @jengjeng works and also fixes a secondary bug of de-selecting pre-selected options that must be incorrectly initialised.

I'd consider this bug critical and without the workaround we'd have had to implement an alternative library entirely.

I believe this will be fixed by #164
