Say you initialized your select like this:

$('.mySelect').select2({
  multiple: true,
  tags: "true"
});

Then use this 2 functions for triggering the change. (as seen in the official documentation)

$('.mySelect').val(['value1', 'value2']);
$('.mySelect').trigger('change.select2');

Where "value1" and "value2" are IDs of the option elements of the select.
