                Good day to all, I need to select a value of a basic select but I can not get it to work, I have tried with the following code:
<select class=\"mdb-select\" id=\"sexo\">
                                <option value=\"\" disabled selected>Seleccion tipo de Sexo</option>
                                <option value=\"1\">Masculino</option>
                                <option value=\"2\">Femenino</option>
</select>
i want to select value \"2\"
                
                
                
                  
                  
                  
                    
                    
                
              
              
              
            $(‘.select-dropdown li:contains(“2”)’).trigger(‘click’); ---> not working
$(\"#sexo\").val(\'2\'); --> not working
I appreciate your comments

Hello,
You can change input value using the following code:
HTML:
                    
                    
                    
                    
                  
                  
                <select class=”mdb-select”>
<option value=””disabled selected>Choose your option</option>
<option value=”1″>Option 1</option>
<option value=”2″>Option 2</option>
<option value=”3″>Option 3</option>
</select>
<label>Example label</label>
<button id=”change-value” data-value=”Option 2″ class=”btn btn-primary”>Change value to Option 2</button>
JS:
$(document).ready(function() {
  $(‘.mdb-select’).material_select();
  $(‘#change-value’).on(‘click’, function(){
    let newValue = $(this).attr(‘data-value’);
    $(‘.select-dropdown’).val(newValue);
  })
});
