I'm using selectize this tool that let's me make a select field searchable.
The thing though is I can't select an option, useful when editing existing data.
The code looks like this to instantiate selectize
$('#vendor').selectize({
sortField: 'text'
});
I can select something then find it's value on the console using $('#vendor').val(); but after refreshing and doing $('#vendor').val('21'); which is the value I got back, it doesn't select the option.
This normally works on a normal select field.
