Edit form with pre-selected values

[FilipeVoges]

Hello everyone,

I have an application that uses PHP in the back and the Js on the front along with HTML and CSS (the basics).

And I have a problem with using the selectize for editing a form that makes use of it.

The situation is as follows:
A select with all the permissions of possible users, but in that same form has a variable with the permissions that the user already has, my problem is to already insert these variables as already selected, is loading as a normal select coming only the first item selected, being that Js I just load at the end of HTML and initialize the selectize in my select.

what would be the correct way to implement a select with pre-selected values?

Just make the options like you would a regular select box?

Do you say put the "selected" attribute in the tag? I've tried this, but to no avail.

[Skintillion]

<select id="select-name" placeholder="Select a person..." multiple>
       <option value="997" SELECTED>Some Already selected option</option>
        <!-- INSERT REST OF OPTIONS HERE -->
</select>

$(function() {
    $('#select-name').selectize();
});

The place I'm filling is this way:
(attached)

And my JS
`$(document).ready(function() {
Materialize.updateTextFields();

$('#roles').selectize({
    maxItems: 15
});

});`

I can help if you paste the code, but I can't copy and paste from a screenshot.
