Hi I have this code:

<div class="md-form">
 <i class="fa fa-cutlery prefix"></i>
 <select class="mdb-select colorful-select dropdown-primary ml-5" multiple="multiple" required="required" name="services">
 <option value="#" disabled="disabled" selected="selected">Please, select</option>
 <option value="svs1">service 1</option>
 <option value="svs2">service 2</option>
 <option value="svs3" selected="selected">service 3</option>
 <option value="svs4">service 4</option>
 <option value="svs5">service 5</option>
 <option value="svs6" selected="selected">service 6</option>
 <option value="svs7">service 7</option>
 </select>
 <label>Services</label>
</div>

But when i execute the souce, the pre-selected options are not shown as selection. I've tried with this:

$('.mdb-select').each(function() {
 $(this).material_select('destroy');
 $(this).material_select();
})

But still the same. Looking inside de source code, there is no place for preselected options. How and where should i change the code for this to work? Thanks
