How to set a value for a selectize.js input?

Question

I have a form from which I would like to copy some default values into the inputs. The form inputs are using the selectize.js plugin. I would like to set some of the form

Answer 1

Answer by the user 'onlyblank' is correct. A small addition to that- You can set more than 1 default values if you want.

Instead of passing on id to the setValue(), pass an array. Example:

var $select = $("#my_input").selectize();
var selectize = $select[0].selectize;
var yourDefaultIds = [1,2]; # find the ids using search as shown by the user onlyblank
selectize.setValue(defaultValueIds);
