MVC tag helpers odd behavior

[aik0n]

Hi, I got some specific situation when I used asp-... tag helpers.
I think it is not a bug in bootstrap-select and I just want to describe situation and how to do workaround.

Imagine you have ViewModel and populate options to a selectpicker with tag-helper:

<div> <select id="selectCompanies" asp-for="Companies" asp-items="Model.Companies" class="selectpicker" data-live-search="true" data-style="btn-outline-dark" title="Company"> </select> </div>

This will generate html with not specified properties. So, multiple selection will be turned on and .selectpicker('val', 'Value'); will not work. And, to resolve this I implemented with "old-school" MVC approach

<div> <select id="selectCompanies2" class="selectpicker" data-live-search="true" data-style="btn-outline-dark" title="Company"> @{ foreach (var item in Model.Companies) { <option>@item.Text</option> } } </select> </div>

PS sorry for formatting
