Bootstrap Select - Set selected value by text
<p>How can I change the drop down if I only know the text and not the value?</p>

<p>Here is my select - </p>

<pre><code> &lt;select id="app_id" class="selectpicker"&gt;
       &lt;option value=""&gt;--Select--&lt;/option&gt;
       &lt;option value="1"&gt;Application 1&lt;/option&gt;
       &lt;option value="2"&gt;Application 2&lt;/option&gt;
 &lt;/select&gt;
</code></pre>
