Select2 not working inside bootstrap modal

I am trying to use select2 inside bootstrap modal but it is not getting the focus automatically as well as down and up arrows are not working for the populated list.

The same select2 works when I put it outside the modal popup.

When I searched, I found many are facing this same problem and found this post

Select2 doesn't work when embedded in a bootstrap modal

I implemented both the solutions from it

Removed tabindex from modal popup.
Commented code of enforceFocus function in modal.js file.

But it is still not working! Any idea what I could still be missing?

Edit1

It works on firefox when tabindex is removed from the modal div but not with IE9

Edit2

I found that removing tabindex is actually not getting recognized by IE9 because I can still hide the popup by escape key in IE but not in Firefox.

Use bellow code. This will solve your bug.

$('select').select2({
    dropdownParent: $('#my_amazing_modal')
});

If you using this for multiple modals you can use dropdownParent: $(".modal-body , .modal-body1") – Mir 20/3, 2021 at 16:0

place this somewhere in your JS:

   //fix modal force focus
   $.fn.modal.Constructor.prototype.enforceFocus = function () {
      var that = this;
      $(document).on('focusin.modal', function (e) {
         if ($(e.target).hasClass('select2-input')) {
            return true;
         }

         if (that.$element[0] !== e.target && !that.$element.has(e.target).length) {
            that.$element.focus();
         }
      });
   };

I changed:

<div class="modal fade bd-example-modal-lg"  tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myLargeModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">

to the following:

<div class="modal fade bd-example-modal-lg" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myLargeModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">

That is, removing the attribute tabindex="-1" from the element.

Are there any downsides to this approach? – Collimate 9/3, 2018 at 19:46

Try this

<div class="col-sm-8" id="select">
    <select type="text" class="form-control" id="helloselect" data-width="100%" name="helloselect">
        <option>Hello</option>
        <option>Hola</option>
        <option>Hallo</option>
    </select>
</div>

and the script

$("#helloselect").select2({dropdownParent: $("#select")});

I was searching for it and came across this one:

Worked for me on document ready for all select2

 $('select:not(.normal)').each(function () {
            $(this).select2({
                dropdownParent: $(this).parent()
            });
        });

This worked. I added an id to the main container and used the same as the answer. dropdownParent: $('#new_appended_container') – Politico 25/5, 2021 at 9:33

I tried to set z-index for select2 dropdown option, and it worked for me. Here is what I did:

.select2-container.select2-container--default.select2-container--open  {
  z-index: 5000;
}

$('#dropdownid').select2({
  dropdownParent: $('#modalid')
 });

Above code works for me, try this.

this will do the trick, and it worked for me

$.fn.modal.Constructor.prototype.enforceFocus = $.noop;

the attribute tabindex='-1' in bootstrap modal prevents any element outside modal being reachable or focused by tab key. It is useful for limit tabs only on modal, for accessibility. But elements created by selec2 are children of document. You need to set dropdownParent to your modal

$(document).ready(function() {

    $("select").select2({dropdownParent: $("#myModal")});

    $('[data-toggle=offcanvas]').click(function() {
      $('.row-offcanvas').toggleClass('active');
    });
  


});

Just use data attribute settings: data-dropdown-parent="#bs-modal-id"

<select class="form-control" data-dropdown-parent="#bs-modal-id"></select>

One of the best working answers on this issue. I was facing this problem in bootstrap modal with multiple instances. You are a CHAMP! – Buchanan 21/3 at 10:30

Furthermore, this one works great and equally good for Single or Multiple Dropdowns in Bootstrap forms with and without Bootstrap Modal!!! – Buchanan 21/3 at 10:31

Dear all no need to take tabindex="-1" out there simple CSS solution. Here we go:

.page-body .select2-drop {z-index: 10052;}
.select2-drop-mask {z-index: 10052;}

And you are done. :)

$('.select2-with-search').select2({
      placeholder: 'Choose one',
      searchInputPlaceholder: 'Search options',
   dropdownParent: $('.modal')
   });

us this <div class="modal"

<div class="modal fade" id="createModal" role="dialog" aria-hidden="true"  data-backdrop="">
   <div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered modal-lg" role="document">
      <div class="modal-content">

and use this <select class="form-control select2-with-search"

<select class="form-control wd-250 select2-with-search">
                     <option label="Choose one"></option>
                     <option value="Firefox">Firefox</option>
                     <option value="Chrome">Chrome</option>
                     <option value="Safari">Safari</option>
                     <option value="Opera">Opera</option>
                     <option value="Internet Explorer">Internet Explorer</option>
                  </select>

All answers here didn't work for me, but this one is good:

  $('#modal-window').on('shown.bs.modal', function (e) {
    $("#select-box").select2({
      placeholder: "Select...",
      theme: "bootstrap",
      language: "en"
    });
  })

Wrap it inside

$(document).on('ready turbolinks:load', function() {...}

if you use turbolink.

In my case i resolve this calling select2 on action modal show like this:

    window.addEventListener('showModal', event => {
        $('#actionModal').modal('show');
        $('#permissaoList').select2({
            width: '100%'
        });
    });
