Can I use select2 purely as a tokenizer, disabling the dropdown/search/match functionality?

Question

I have multiple instances of select2 elements in my form, but in one of them (which is on a hidden input) I want to just tokenize the input.

I dont want the dropdown to ever show because it always shows "no matches found" and it confuses users. So I need to disable just the dropdown and use select2 as only a tokenizer for that specific element. Is that possible?

(I know I can do this easily with out the plugin but I want to use the plugin as it decorates the tokens and removes icon and it will be uniform with other inputs that use it)

Answer 1

Used the approach described by @Paralife.

Found there is a option dropdownCss which sets the dropdown style. So dropdownCss:{display:'none'} is enough to disable it as well.
