I need to allow users select ONLY allowed tags in select.

Currently I have that:

$("input#id_txtcolor").select2({tags:["red", "green", "blue"]});

Can you help me please with that?

Sometimes we developer don't use our 7th sense that is common sense also happened with me struggled for 2 hours then it clicked my sense.. if you want user to select only allowed values then its no more tagging its selecting So just remove tags:true option and keep mulitple attribute in select, provide options directly in select element or load remote data.

as of 3.3 you can specify your own createSearchChoice when using tags that will always return null, thus preventing the default choice from being created.

$().select2({
    createSearchChoice: function() { return null; },
    tags:...
});
