Select2 Trigger Additional Data

I'm trying to load additional data on my select (select2), but the Trigger Event is not loading the additional data. The code and results are shown below.

$('#section').select2();
var data = {
    id: 1,
    text: 'text_default',
    anothertext: 'text_2'
};
var newOption = new Option(data.text, data.id, true, true);
$('#section').append(newOption).trigger('change'); //until this point, everything works
$('#section').trigger({
    type: 'select2:select',
    params: {
        data: data
    }
});

console.log($('#section').select2('data')[0]['text']);// return text_default
console.log($('#section').select2('data')[0]['anothertext']);// return undefined
console.log($('#section').select2('data')['anothertext']);//only for test, return undefined
console.log($('#section').data('anothertext'));//only for test, return undefined

Is anything wrong with the code?
