setting selects programatically does not reload dependent selects about jquery-cascading-dropdown HOT 7 CLOSED

The .val() method doesn't trigger any events, so there's no way for the plugin to know when the dropdown has been changed by this method. You have to trigger the change event manually.

I'm not sure if this should be documented, because this is pretty much how jQuery works.

Is there a way to set the value of the select programatically that does reload dependant selects?

Currently no, but you're welcome to submit a feature request :-)

Could we reopen this issue and consider use it as a feature request, or do you want a separate issue?

There's an internal method that I can try to expose which sets the dropdown value and informs the dropdowns that depend on it about the change.
