Adding two identical select2 forms to same page
Solution 1
You can not have two elements with the same id
. Use classes instead.
Both your selects have id="e9"
instead try adding something like class="my-select"
to your <select>
element.
then do $('.my-select').select2();
Solution 2
For each select2 in the same page you must define unique id for tag "data-select2-id".
data-select2-id="Project"
and
data-select2-id="WBSDate"
Solution 3
As @Ramy Mention. I hope its works fine for everyone. If It won't work then try this. In select box you can't use same id for an example:
<select class="form-control select2" id="select">
<option>Select</option>
<option>Cycle</option>
<option>Horse</option>
</select>
<select class="form-control select2" id="select">
<option>Select</option>
<option>Cycle</option>
<option>Horse</option>
</select>
If you have same id the search box won't work. Just try to different Id Name like below.
<select class="form-control select2" id="select">
<option>Select</option>
<option>Cycle</option>
<option>Horse</option>
</select>
<select class="form-control select2" id="select1">
<option>Select</option>
<option>Cycle</option>
<option>Horse</option>
</select>
I faced this kind of problem. That's why i shared here my opinion. Thanks hope someone will get help from this.

I am trying to add two select2 multi-value select boxes to my Rails app.
The top form works fine, but the bottom one does not work.
I experimented with changing ids and adding new js code, but no success. Is there something fundamentally wrong that I'm missing?
Index.html
# This one works fine <div class="search_genre">Genre:</div> <div class="select2-container select2-container-multi populate"> <select multiple="" name="e9" id="e9" style="width:300px" class="populate select2-offscreen" tabindex="-1" placeholder="Search or Select"> <optgroup label="Popular"> <option value="Alt">Rock</option> <option value="Ind">Indie</option> <option value="Ind">Alternative</option> <option value="Ind">Acoustic</option> </optgroup> </select> </div> # This one doesn't show a text input or the optiongroup values <div class="search_region">Region:</div> <div class="select2-container select2-container-multi populate"> <select multiple="" name="e9" id="e9" style="width:300px" class="populate select2-offscreen" tabindex="-1" placeholder="Search or Select"> <optgroup label="Local"> <option value="PDX">Greater Portland</option> <option value="OR">Oregon</option> <option value="WA">Washington</option> </optgroup> </select> </div>
application.js
$("#e9").select2();
