Expected behavior: Select box becomes enabled when there is a change to a different select box
Actual behavior: Select box remains disabled
**Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)**
When changing to the pro version, some functionality has been lossed. Upon changing a select box, I had a code that enabled a different select box depending on if a value had been selected in the first box. I have since lost this functionality and am unable to debug this problem. Here is my code:
function enableVend(){
  if ("#pro option:selected") {
    console.log('should enable');
    debugger;
    $("#vendorid").prop('disabled', false);
    debugger;
  } else {
    $("#vendorid").prop('disabled', true);
  }
}
It is everything is working as it should other than:
$("#vendorid").prop('disabled', false);
All help is very appreciated.
Also my MDB version is actually 4.8.1

I am using MDB5 Version Pro 3.8.1 and I need to dynamically disable and enable a select element.
Is there an easy way to do it?
I have tried to remove the disabled and readonly attribute from the input element inside select-wrapper div, but beside the gray color being removed, you canot change the selection.
Many thanks!

I solved it. I realized that you need removing the disabled attribute from the select element itself, too.
