Hello team. I’m currently using latest version ionic and ion-multi-picker. I’m using ion-multi-picker and I set initial value in ngModel “([(ngModel)]=“profile.city”” but on display there is placeholder. How I scroll to text corresponding value that I set on constructor? Also if I touch picker, I find selected the correct value.

Thanks  
Marco

Anyone?  
My problem is set initial value of multi-picker. If I set ng-model I’ve value correct but on display I no have correct item. This only for item text. For datetime work correctly.
