Hi

You can try the following.

For the example below, "MultiSelectBoxField" is the form field id for a multi select box form element and 'my choice' must be one of the available options in your select box, which you want selected:

$(FormUtil.getField("MultiSelectBoxField")).find("option[value='my choice']").attr('selected', 'selected');
$(FormUtil.getField("MultiSelectBoxField")).trigger("chosen:updated");

Also see Javascript API . Thank you.
