Is it possible to add attribute to option in select dropdown?
I need to set selected option so default is not always first option

https://editor.datatables.net/reference/field/select

editor.add( {
    type:  "select",
    label: "Locations:",
    name:  "locations",
    options: [
        { label: "Edinburgh", value: 51 },
        { label: "London",    value: 76, selected: true} // Something like this
    ]
} );

There's not a configuration option, but you could use the initCreate to set the default, with this code:

var field = editor.field('office'); $('select', field.node()).val('London');

See example here: http://live.datatables.net/pogofije/1/edit
