I am using GetListItems to populate the choices/options in a dropdown column in one SP list (list: ABC / url: www.thisone.com) from a separate SP list (list:xyz / url: www.thatone.com). This is working fine; however, once I try to save the form using one of the options from list: ABC, I receive an error message in SharePoint. (This is a generic error which only supplies an ID that changes with each attempt, and is useless on the MSDN site to obtain help.) If I go back into the form and use the default choice/option that I set when I created the column, the form saves without any issues.

- using SP2010
- using $("dropdown column ID").append(some var data); to populate the dropdown column in list: ABC
- unsuccessful using $("select[title='dropdown column title']").val("some value data"); to populate the value for the option in list: ABC
