set options to select 2 code example
Example 1: select2 clear options
Remove the selected options :
-----------------------------
$('#mySelect2').val(null).trigger('change');
============================================
Completly remove the select2 initialization :
--------------------------------------------
$('#payment_method').html('').select2({data: [{id: '', text: ''}]});
Example 2: select2 add option
// Set the value, creating a new option if necessary
if ($('#mySelect2').find("option[value='" + data.id + "']").length) {
$('#mySelect2').val(data.id).trigger('change');
} else {
// Create a DOM Option and pre-select by default
var newOption = new Option(data.text, data.id, true, true);
// Append it to the select
$('#mySelect2').append(newOption).trigger('change');
}
