sl-select: setting the value doesn't fire the change event

[mapsedge]

I have a change event on sl-select that, depending upon the value chosen, displays various controls: toggle for boolean values, input for text, numeric for numbers, etc.

So, to make testing a little more efficient, I'm setting the value of the sl-select on load, but the change event doesn't fire. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a feature?

This is by design. Programmatic changes don’t trigger input/change events, just like the platform :)

Sooo...is there a workaround?

@mapsedge

select.value = <value>
select.dispatchEvent(new Event("sl-change", {
  bubbles: true
}))
