Hey was wondering if you knew how to handle this:  
I’ve got an ion-select that changes the value of an array BUT it only works when i either refresh the page or switch the ion select so if i have something similar to this  
option 1  
option 2  
option 3 [selected]

and array is currently showing option 3

when i switch to option 1 it’ll still show option 3  
but if i then change to option 2, it’ll show option 1  
why does this happen? any ideas?
