Select2 not working inside bootstrap modal

I am trying to use select2 inside bootstrap modal but it is not getting the focus automatically as well as down and up arrows are not working for the populated list.

The same select2 works when I put it outside the modal popup.

When I searched, I found many are facing this same problem and found this post

Select2 doesn't work when embedded in a bootstrap modal

I implemented both the solutions from it

  1. Removed tabindex from modal popup.
  2. Commented code of enforceFocus function in modal.js file.

But it is still not working! Any idea what I could still be missing?

Edit1

It works on firefox when tabindex is removed from the modal div but not with IE9

Edit2

I found that removing tabindex is actually not getting recognized by IE9 because I can still hide the popup by escape key in IE but not in Firefox.

I was facing with the same problem I just add the below code and it worked

$(document).ready(function() {
           $('.select2').each(function() {
              $(this).select2({
                  dropdownParent: $(this).parent()

In my case i resolve this calling select2 on action modal show like this:

    window.addEventListener('showModal', event => {
        $('#actionModal').modal('show');
        $('#permissaoList').select2({
            width: '100%'
        });
    });

Just use data attribute settings: data-dropdown-parent="#bs-modal-id"

<select class="form-control" data-dropdown-parent="#bs-modal-id"></select>

All answers here didn't work for me, but this one is good:

  $('#modal-window').on('shown.bs.modal', function (e) {
    $("#select-box").select2({
      placeholder: "Select...",
      theme: "bootstrap",
      language: "en"
    });
  })

Wrap it inside

$(document).on('ready turbolinks:load', function() {...}

if you use turbolink.

$('.select2-with-search').select2({
      placeholder: 'Choose one',
      searchInputPlaceholder: 'Search options',
   dropdownParent: $('.modal')
   });

<div class="modal fade" id="createModal" role="dialog" aria-hidden="true"  data-backdrop="">
   <div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered modal-lg" role="document">
      <div class="modal-content">

and use this <select class="form-control select2-with-search"

<select class="form-control wd-250 select2-with-search">
                     <option label="Choose one"></option>
                     <option value="Firefox">Firefox</option>
                     <option value="Chrome">Chrome</option>

I was searching for it and came across this one:

Worked for me on document ready for all select2

 $('select:not(.normal)').each(function () {
            $(this).select2({
                dropdownParent: $(this).parent()
            });
        });

the attribute tabindex='-1' in bootstrap modal prevents any element outside modal being reachable or focused by tab key. It is useful for limit tabs only on modal, for accessibility. But elements created by selec2 are children of document. You need to set dropdownParent to your modal

$(document).ready(function() {

    $("select").select2({dropdownParent: $("#myModal")});

    $('[data-toggle=offcanvas]').click(function() {
      $('.row-offcanvas').toggleClass('active');
    });
  


});

Dear all no need to take tabindex="-1" out there simple CSS solution. Here we go:

.page-body .select2-drop {z-index: 10052;}
.select2-drop-mask {z-index: 10052;}

And you are done. :)

I changed:

<div class="modal fade bd-example-modal-lg"  tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myLargeModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">

to the following:

<div class="modal fade bd-example-modal-lg" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myLargeModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">

That is, removing the attribute tabindex="-1" from the element.

I tried to set z-index for select2 dropdown option, and it worked for me. Here is what I did:

.select2-container.select2-container--default.select2-container--open  {
  z-index: 5000;
}

place this somewhere in your JS:

   //fix modal force focus
   $.fn.modal.Constructor.prototype.enforceFocus = function () {
      var that = this;
      $(document).on('focusin.modal', function (e) {
         if ($(e.target).hasClass('select2-input')) {
            return true;
         }

         if (that.$element[0] !== e.target && !that.$element.has(e.target).length) {
            that.$element.focus();
         }
      });
   };
