If you set the defaultValue for a TagBox question in jQuery, the following issues occur.

• Default values are not displayed;
• It is impossible to select any options in a TagBox.

{
  "elements": [
    {
      "type": "tagbox",
      "isRequired": true,
      "choicesByUrl": {
        "url": "https://surveyjs.io/api/CountriesExample"
      },
      "name": "countries",
      "defaultValue": ["Albania","Benin"],
      "title": "Which countries have you visited within the last three years?",
      "description": "Please select all that apply."
    }
  ],
  "showQuestionNumbers": false
};
