Problems setting initial selectitem value

[lylepratt]

I'm having trouble setting the initial value of a selectitem. I've noticed some bugs related to this that are marked as fixed, but I still can not get it to work correctly. I've also tried some work arounds which have been unsuccessful.

Here's some code that I think should work:

    //I'm initializing a container here that has an empty panel I'm adding to at thisItem.items.get(1)
    initialize: function() {
        this.callParent();
        var thisItem = this;
        var options = this.options;
        var selectoptions = [];
        Ext.each(template.items, function(section, index) {
            selectoptions[index] = {};
            selectoptions[index]["text"] = section.label;
            selectoptions[index]["value"] = toString(section.index);
        });

        Ext.each(options, function(option, index) {
            thisItem.items.get(1).add(
                {
                    cls: "gather_option",
                    items: [
                        {
                            xtype: "textfield",
                            label: "Code",
                            placeHolder: "The code to enter.",
                            value: option.digits,
                        },
                        {
                            xtype: "selectfield",
                            label: "Section",
                            value: "2",    //This is the value of one of the items in selectoptions
                            options: selectoptions
                        }
                    ]
                }
            );
        });
    }

If anyone has any other suggestions I'm open ears. I'd rather not wait till a new PR version is released to get this working.

Thanks!
