XF 2.3 Tagify Questions: Force Dropdown Selection & Default Values

[robdog]

While I am doing my upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3, I am running into issues going from Select2 to Tagify. Long story short, I am trying to mimic two pieces of functionality.

1. With an AJAX powered Tagify input, I want to make sure users select an option from the dropdown. If they type "asdf", and then click out of the input, I do not want "asdf" to then show as a tag. Is there a config option for this in Tagify?
   
   
2. I want to provide default objects. These objects will have an ID and Title. The ID would populate the input hidden input field and the title would display in the Tagify presentation component.

Amy help with either of these two items would be greatly appreciated. I am still doing my digging, and I will post my findings if I can get to a solution.

Thanks.
