如何将模型数据加载到使用Yii中的Ajax过滤的Select2下拉列表

I use the following select2 Yii widget in my view to populate a drop-down list. Since the data necessary for the preparation of the select list consists of more than 2K records I use select2 with minimumInputLength parameter and an ajax query to generate partial result of the list based on user input. If I create a new record I have no problem at all. It populates everything fine and I can save data to my database. However I don't know how to load saved data back to this drop-down during my update action. I read somewhere that initselection intended for this purpose but I couldn't figure out how to use it.I use the following select2 Yii widget in my vi
