$(lstViewCities).find("option").each(function(item) {
       $(item).attr('selected', '');
});
$(lstViewCities).trigger("liszt:updated");

but nothing is happening and same for selecting all option

var lstViewCities= $('#lstViewCities');
$(lstViewCities).find("option").each(function(item) {
       $(item).attr('selected', 'selected');
});
$(lstViewCities).trigger("liszt:updated");

Answer 1

$("#btn").click(function(){
    $('.search-choice-close', '.search-choice').trigger('click');
}

In single select you might use:

$("#btn").click(function(){
    $('#testChosen_chzn').find('.search-choice-close').trigger('click');
}
