 * > Hi. I use your plugin, and find it really useful,  but I am having a problem.
   > Select2 instances which other plugins are using are being affected when your
   > plugin is running.
   > I have traced it back to this line in `wsf-admin.js`:
   > `initMultiSelector: function () {    $("select[multiple='multiple']").select2({
   > width: '100%', placeholder: "Select an option..." }); },`
   > This is targeting any `select[multiple='multiple']` element on the page, including
   > Select2 instances created by other plugins.
   > Is there any chance you could update this so that it only targets the Select2
   > elements created by your plugin (for example, by using a more specific class
   > or selector)? This would avoid reinitialising other plugins’ Select2 fields
   > and changing their appearance or configuration.
   > I appreciate your work on the plugin and would be happy to test a fix if you
   > have one available.
   > Thanks.
