How to make optgroup selectable

[lmr...@gmail.com]

Select 2 v4.0

Hi my json looks like:

data = [{
"id": "1",
"text": "group 1",
"children": [{
"id": "item1",
"text": "item1"
}, {
"id": "item2",
"text": "item2"
}]
}];

How can I make "group 1" selectable item? When item has childs I can't select it.

It's not possible in Select2, just like it's not possible in a standard `<select>` [1]. You can work around it though with custom templating functions and emulating groups [2][3].

I just finished working on a plugin to make optgroups selectable:

The behavior is slightly different from what you were describing. Optgroups don't have values themselves. Rather, clicking on an optgroup toggles/untoggles all of the child elements. However, it could be a good example for building what you want.
