Ability to initialise option items selected

See original GitHub issue

I wanted to reflect settings in the DB when the page was loaded but could not find a way to add an option as selected. I have modified my local file thus:

    'addOption' : function(options){
      var that = this;

      if (options.value !== undefined && options.value !== null){
        options = [options];
      } 
      $.each(options, function(index, option){
        if (option.value !== undefined && option.value !== null &&
            that.$element.find("option[value='"+option.value+"']").length === 0){
          var $option = $('<option value="'+option.value+'">'+option.text+'</option>'),
              index = parseInt((typeof option.index === 'undefined' ? that.$element.children().length : option.index)),
              $container = option.nested === undefined ? that.$element : $("optgroup[label='"+option.nested+"']");

          // PB: 23-06-2016:  If marked as selected from start, reset template
          if (option.selected != undefined)
              $option = $('<option value="' + option.value + '" selected>' + option.text + '</option>')

          $option.insertAt(index, $container);
          that.generateLisFromOption($option.get(0), index, option.nested);
        }
      });
    },
