<p>
You can re-map your identifier before passing it to Select2.
Select2 requires that the <code>id</code> property is used to uniquely
identify the options that are displayed in the results list. If you use a
property other than <code>id</code> (like <code>pk</code>) to uniquely
identify an option, you need to map your old property to <code>id</code>
before passing it to Select2.
</p>
{% include options/not-written.html %}
<p>
If you cannot do this on your server or you are in a situation where the
identifier cannot be changed, you can do this in JavaScript before passing
it to Select2.

var data = $.map(yourArrayData, function (obj) {
obj.id = obj.id || obj.pk; // replace pk with your identifier

</h3>
<p>
These can also be re-mapped.
Just like with the <code>id</code> property, Select2 requires that the text
that should be displayed for an option is stored in the <code>text</code>
property. You can map this property from any existing property using the
following JavaScript.
</p>
{% include options/not-written.html %}
{% highlight js linenos %}
var data = $.map(yourArrayData, function (obj) {
obj.text = obj.text || obj.name; // replace name with the property used for the text
return obj;
});
