Unable to programatically set active item

Currently unable to programatically set active item.

Would be good to have option to do this via component logic, e.g.:

this.mySelectComponent.setActive([itemFromList]);

I meant to get back to this. A workaround is to use Angular2’s formbuilder and bind a formcontrol to the dropdown.

Markup: <ng-select [multiple]="true" [items]="businessTypes" placeholder="No category selected" formControlName="businessType" id="businessType"></ng-select>

Logic: this.myForm.controls['businessType'].setValue([businessType]);

Hope this helps! 😃

Same problem. I had active on template. active is told to be object in case of Single, and array of objects in case on Multiple, but the only way I can set active for Single is, if it’s array of single object. Would like it to really be only object.
