Combobox Default Value Selection

[alex51482]

How do I imperatively set the default selected value of a kendo angular combobox?

Hello Alex,

Depending on the scenario and the type of data and value binding the approach may vary, but typically binding the value property of the ComboBox will set the selected item accordingly. You can provide the value either in the markup configuration or bind it to a component class field, e.g.:

https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ywxcy9?file=app/app.component.ts

Note that the initial value should either be present in the data collection the component is bound to, or allowCustom should be set to true.

Further details about the ComboBox data and value binding are available in the following sections of our documentation:

I hope this helps, but if I am missing something, please describe the scenario and the desired functionality in further details, so I can try providing a solution that is more suitable to the specific use case. Thank you in advance.
