I am loading list dynamically, but I cant set default value, my code looks like this, but it just don't render selected in else case. store._id and user.businessUnit._id are match in one of cases.

   <select class="form-control " name="businessUnit" id="businessUnit"> 
        <% if (!editing) {%> 
            <option  value="" selected disabled hidden>Odaberi poslovnu jedinicu</option>
        <% stores.forEach((store) => { %>
                    <option value="<%=store._id%>"><%=store.name%></option>
        <% }); %> 
            <% } else { %> 
                <% stores.forEach((store) => { %>                       
                    <option value="<%=store._id%>" <% if (user.businessUnit._id === store._id) { %> <%= "selected" %>  <% } %>><%=store.name%></option>
                <% }); %> 
            <% }  %> 
        </select>
