How do I fire a new ajax on select2 new /remove tag event?

I use the following snippet to add a new select2 tag remotely with ajax and I want to register or remove some records of my many to many table on new tag / remove tag event

The Table looks like

---------------------------------
+--voucher_id--+|+--product_id--+
---------------------------------
+     123       |   566         +
---------------------------------
+     156       |   566         +
---------------------------------
+     123       |   426         +
---------------------------------
+     156       |   516         +
---------------------------------

My Javascript

$(".e6").select2({
    tags: true,
    placeholder: 'placeholder',
    minimumInputLength: 1,

    ajax: {
        url: 'searchProducts',
        dataType: 'json',
        data: function(term) {
            return {q: term};
        },
        results: function(data) {
            return {results: data};
        }
    },
    createSearchChoice: function(term, data) {
        if ($(data).filter(function() {
            return this.computername.localeCompare(term) === 0;
        }).length === 0) {
            return {id: term, name: term};
        }
    },
    formatResult: function(item, page) {
        return item.computername;
    },
    formatSelection: function(item, page) {
        return item.computername;
    }
});

In the returned json I have a product ID as well and I'm searching a way to fire a new ajax on select2 event but I can't figure out where should be done to save or remove data from my table.

Making some researches I've been able to build a function which would update records on the table above and which is working good sofar

$('.e6').on("change", function(e){                           
    console.log(ids);
    console.log(gs);
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: '/admin/?controller=vouchers&action=updateRelatedProducts',
        data: {ids: ids, gs:gs},
        error: function () {
            alert("error");
        }
    });                   
});

But I have problems to populate my input field with initial existing tags

Not tested but should work :

$('.e6').on("change", function(e){
    if (e.removed) {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: '/admin/?controller=vouchers&action=updateRelatedProducts',
            data: {id: e.removed.id, action: remove},    //Or you can e.removed.text
            error: function () {
                alert("error");
            }
        });
    }
    if (e.added) {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: '/admin/?controller=vouchers&action=updateRelatedProducts',
            data: {id: e.added.id, action: add},    //Or you can e.added.text
            error: function () {
                alert("error");
            }
        });
    }

    //OR you can play with val data instead
    if (e.val) {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: '/admin/?controller=vouchers&action=updateRelatedProducts',
            data: {val: JSON.stringify(e.val)},    //Will send all the selected values
            error: function () {
                alert("error");
            }
        });
    }
}

Is there a fiddle where you can post a version of this problem.

Based on what I understood, would the following pattern suffice?

  function dynamicSelect2(id) {
      $.ajax({
          url: 'data-url',
          data: 'parameters',
          dataType: 'json'
      }).done(function () {
          //Create the Select2 with necessary data on the element "id" passed.
      }).always(function () {
          //Attach other events..
      });
  }

It is possible to create the entire select2 box dynamically and attach events on it this way. If you do that within a closure, you'll have access to variables that you defined prior to your ajax calls.
