Topic: [BUG] select setValue does not accept numbers
Expected behavior
Let us suppose to have a button with the attribute data-myvalue="23456" and a select which contains an option with that value.
If we use jquery to get the data value, this should work:
mySelect.setValue($('#mybutton').data('myvalue'))
Actual behavior
Actually, the value is not set properly because it is not a string. The select resets to the first value.
Workaround:
mySelect.setValue(String($('#mybutton').data('myvalue')))
In my opinion, this additional check should be done directly by the funcion setValue, not by the user. Sometimes we do not know if the value is a string or a number a priori.
You just need to add String() in the setValue function
If we use vanilla js the getAttribute('data-myvalue') function gives always a string and there seems to be no issue
