from the Documentation,

.selectpicker('val');

You can set the selected value by calling the val method on the element.

$('.selectpicker').selectpicker('val', 'Mustard');
$('.selectpicker').selectpicker('val', ['Mustard','Relish']);

This is different to calling val() directly on the select element. If you call val() on the element directly, the bootstrap-select ui will not refresh (as the change event only fires from user interaction). You will have to call the ui refresh method yourself.

.selectpicker('refresh');

To programmatically update a select with JavaScript, first manipulate the select, then use the refresh method to update the UI to match the new state. This is necessary when removing or adding options, or when disabling/enabling a select via JavaScript.

$('.selectpicker').selectpicker('refresh');

So,

Replace these lines

$('#userGroup').val(data.group_name); // doesn't work
// make it work with bs-select 
$('#userGroup').selectpicker('refresh');

with this line,

 $('#userGroup').selectpicker('val', data.group_id).selectpicker('refresh');

Hi thanks for your answer it works fine. Can I also ask how I can hide the user group field if the previous user role filed is equal to a certain value for example "admin"? Many thanks again for your help
