my source :
<div class="col" >
<div class="md-form">
    <i class="fa fa-balance-scale prefix grey-text"></i>
    <select id="EtatCivilEmployeur" class="mdb-select" required>
        <option value="1">Célibataire</option>
        <option value="2">Concubin(e)</option>
        <option value="3">Divorcé(e)</option>
        <option value="4">inconnu</option>
        <option value="5">Marié(e)</option>
        <option value="6">Partenariat enregistré</option>
        <option value="7">Séparé(e)</option>
        <option value="8">Veuf(ve)</option>
    </select>
    <div id="EtatCivilEmployeur_ERR" class="invalid-feedback">Veuillez saisir votre état civil</div>
</div>
$('#EtatCivilEmployeur').material_select('destroy'); $('#EtatCivilEmployeur').material_select(); $('#EtatCivilEmployeur').val("2");
I don't understand why the command $('#EtatCivilEmployeur').val("2"); doesn't work.
If someome can help me to find the problem. Thanks in advance. Best regards.

<select id="select" class="browser-default custom-select custom-select-lg mb-3">
      <option selected>Open this select menu</option>
      <option value="1">One</option>
      <option value="2">Two</option>
      <option value="3">Three</option>
</select>
<script>
    $(document).ready(() => $(select).val("2"));
</script>
I've tested the above code and it seems to work fine, it selects the second option. Is your jQuery code wrapped in $(document).ready()? 
Please share your jQuery code snippet.
