How to dynamically add option value to an existing multiselect element that has data

Hi, thanks for the wonderfull library.
But I am looking for a feature that I did not see in the docs.
Is there a way to add a newly created option to an existing multiselect element while preserving the data that's already present in the multiselect ?
For example, I have a multiselect that is initialized with an array of data on page load
- My array is filled like so:
const arrFillMultiSelectElement = arrDataDependencies?.map(data => (
{
"label": data.at(1)?.toString().trim() || "", // name
"title": data.at(1)?.toString().trim() || "", // name
"value": data.at(0)?.toString().trim() || "", // id
"selected": false,
"disabled": false,
"attributes": null
}
)) || [];
-
My multiselect element is initialized with the array like so:
$(multiSelectElement).multiselect('dataprovider', arrFillMultiSelectElement);
-
The multiselect is checked and some values are selected.
-
But then a new value is added later in the HTML and I need to read and add that value to the multiselect (already contains data and values).
Right now, I can just do by destroying what's present and recreating the multiselect from scratch, which means I lose all information that was already checked within the multiselect.
Thanks for any help
