I had the same issue, but it solved after I call refresh function before changing
$(element).selectpicker('refresh'); $(element).selectpicker('val', 1);

I have this issue also

Using jQuery 1.12.4 and bootstrap-select 1.11.2 on IE 11 or IE Edge

picker.selectpicker('val', init);

fails,

but

picker.val(init);
picker.selectpicker('refresh');

succeeds.

If I update jQuery to 3.1.1 then either way succeeds.

@caseyjhol: Please re-open.

Here's my first attempt at using jsBin https://jsbin.com/muvuguy/347/edit?html,js,output
The issue only appears in $(document).ready and when using jquery < V2.

In the demo uncheck 'auto-run with JS'.
Click 'run with JS'. The select picker is initialised.
Now comment out the jquery-3.1.1 script block and uncomment the jquery-1.12.4 block.
Click 'run with JS'. The select picker is not initialised.
However, using either of the 'test' buttons does initialise the picker for either version of jquery.

[caseyjhol]

The reason this works with jQuery 3.0.0 and above is $(document).ready() is now fired asynchronously (see jquery/jquery#3197). Because of the test page's small size, $(window).on('load') is fired before $(document).ready(), which allows bootstrap-select to initiate first, before setting the value in $(document).ready(). We run into this issue (attempting to set the value of the select before it's even initialized) in situations where it takes longer to load the page, or with any version of jQuery prior to 3.0.0. A workaround in the meantime is to use $(window).on('load') instead of $(document).ready().
