Vue.js select dropdown option selected attribute problem

You can try calling an change event with @change

  <select class="form-select" name="" id="" v-model="rp" @change="onChange()">
    <option v-for="(educationGroup,index) in educationGroupList" :key="index" :value='educationGroup.id' :v-if="educationGroup.id == 2" selected>{{ educationGroup.name }}</option>
</select> 

And then call onChange function in methods to get selected value as below:

export default {

    methods: {
    onChange: function() {
      var options = event.target.options
      if (options.selectedIndex > -1) {
        var value= options[options.selectedIndex].getAttribute('value');
        console.log(value)
      }
    }
  },
}

You can make the selection with two options.

Option 1: Use v-model.

In this scenario, the value assigned for v-model should match with the value for option.

Example: In my example the value for option is assigned as educationGroup.id where educationGroup is individual objects in array educationGroupList

<select class="form-select" name="" id="" v-model="rp">
  <option
    v-for="(educationGroup,index) in educationGroupList"
    :key="index"
    :value='educationGroup.id'
    :v-if="educationGroup.id == 2">
    {{ educationGroup.name }}
  </option>
</select>

Option 2: Use selected attribute for option.

Here selected is an property that accepts dynamic value. So it should be prefixed with a : and its value should be assigned with a condition on which the selection must be done. He in the below example :selected="educationGroup.id == 1". So the option with id valie 1 will be selected.

<select class="form-select" name="" id="">
  <option
    v-for="(educationGroup,index) in educationGroupList"
    :key="index"
    :value='educationGroup.id'
    :v-if="educationGroup.id == 2"
    :selected="educationGroup.id == 1">
      {{ educationGroup.name }}
  </option>
</select>

Find the working example for both.
