in my project.

What I\'m

Answer 1

This will reload the selection after xhr request (refresh list) and delete the selection if the new item list not contains the earlier selected item:

var chosenSelectedItems = $(".chosen-select").val();  
$('select#GroupsStr').empty();

$.each(xhr.ReturnValue, function (index, item) {
    var newOption = $('' + item + '');
    $('select#GroupsStr').append(newOption);
});

$("select#GroupsStr").val(chosenSelectedItems).trigger("chosen:updated");
