I got problems getting text back into the summernote editor.
I already tried (but did not work):
$(\"#EDITsummernote\").innerHtml = \'test\';
None of the Solutions works for me until I did this.
Let's say you have initialized summernote something like this in which I have two classes
.summernote_custom was used
$('.summernote_rpt').summernote(options);
when the entire page loads and when I wanted to update the summernote value using js I used
$('.summernote_rpt').summernote('code','data');
