Hi Nurudeen, 
 
Greetings from Syncfusion support. 
 
We can set the pre-selected value to multiselect component using our inbuild value property. Kindly refer the below code block  
 




<MultiSelectComponent id="customelement" dataSource={this.gameList} fields={this.fields} mode="Box" 
               value={this.preselectValues} placeholder="Favorite sports" /> 
 
 
We created a sample based on your requirement. please refer the sample here: https://stackblitz.com/edit/react-pohmde?file=index.js  
 
To know more about the value property please refer the below API documentation link: https://ej2.syncfusion.com/react/documentation/api/multi-select#value
