I have this ChoiceField in a Django form:

forms.py

sales_documents_description_1 = forms.ChoiceField(required=False, choices=list(models_products.objects.values_list( 'id_product','product_denomination')), widget=forms.Select(attrs={'id': 'sales_documents_editable_select_description_1','style': 'width:200px','onchange': 'populate_selected_product(this.id,this.value)'}))

In my template, how do I set the value of this ChoiceField by specifying the text argument (NOT THE VALUE).

I tried with this :

Template.html

# The ChoiceField is rendered like this : 

{{ form5.sales_documents_description_1 }}


     $('#sales_documents_description_1').filter(function() {return $(this).text() == 'Neumann U87';}).prop('selected', true);

or

$("#sales_documents_description_1 option").filter(function(){return $(this).text() == 'Neumann U87';}).prop('selected', true);

But it’s not working.

Any JS or jQuery solution will be ok for me.
