How to change the value used from the AJAX response?

[ChangePlaces]

I see 'text' is required in the AJAX response to show. How can I change this to a different value from 'text', to 'foo'? Maybe it could be a property on the form type?

The id and text names are a select2 requirement. https://select2.org/data-sources/formats

There is no way to change it for now but I think it would be possible to enhance the templating functionality to provide a simple means to use a different property name. I can't make any promises but I agree that it would probably be a useful feature.

with select2 v.3 you could override the selection method and return the property you want to use. in 3 it was formatSelection and formatResults iirc. It looks like they've been renamed to templateSelection and TemplateResults for 4.*.
