Please help me.

Answer 1

You need to use selectItem method as follows:

$('select.multiple-select2')[0].sumo.selectItem(2);

Have a look at documentation at https://hemantnegi.github.io/jquery.sumoselect/

There is no any method like setItem which you are trying.

Answer 2

Try This.

 $('#_dropdownID')[0].sumo.selectItem(data[0].stringValue);

This is to get the data from SQL and matching with the dropdown options. it comes as this

success:function(data){
 $('#_dropdownID')[0].sumo.selectItem(data[0].stringValue);
}
