is it possible to add selected attribute to new option only.

HTML

<select name="theFee" id="theFee">
<option selected="selected" value="3">2021-01</option>
<option selected="selected" value="3">2021-02</option>
<option selected="selected" value="3">2021-03</option>
</select>

Hope I explained my problem.

      var ft = $("#feetypeid").val();
      var fm = $("#formonth").val();
      $("#theFee").append($('<option selected="selected"></option>').val(ft).html(fm));

They're all selected because....they're all selected? :) You have selected="selected" in all of your options in the html.

Use jQuery's val method to set the value of the list after adding the new option.
