Topic: Can't pre-select options in Angular select dropdown
After digging through the code it seems like it is impossible to pre-select options in any of your select drop downs. When the options are read into the component they are filtered and a "selected" value is not checked for. This is a serious, highly disappointing issue. It effectively makes all of the select inputs completely useless for any web application that retrieves information from a database to display to users.

Dear sigaostudios, Do you want to pre-select some option in our Multiple Material Select? If yes, it's easy to achieve this. Here's code which you should use in your case: https://mdbootstrap.com/angular/advanced/material-select/#default-value . Just use Multiple Select and then use code from selecting default value, and that's it. For me it works fine. Best Regards, Damiansigaostudios pro commented 7 years ago
I don't believe the functionality in the example you linked to is available in 5.2.3, but i will check. Even so, our specific use case requires that we be able to pre-select multiple values on a Multiple Select component, which doesn't seem to have any documentation. After I upgrade to 6.0.0 I will attempt it again.Damian Gemza staff commented 7 years ago
Dear sigaostudios, for me in 5.2.3 it was working fine. Please check on 6.0 and let me know. Best Regards, Damian
