Question

I have a json object(say dobject) returning data from a json file

Here is snippet of the json:

"FormR": [
            {
                "limit": 2,
                "no": "One"
            }, {
                "limit": 2,
                "no": "Two"
            }
        ], 

now i want to create a FilteringSelect which should have One and Two when the dropdown is selected. Any ideas please?

Thanks in advance.

First, you need to tell the select which field to use as an identifier. Second you need set value for the filtering select.
In your case, the code is something like:

 var rs1 = new dojo.store.JsonRest({
    target:"form2/",
    idProperty: "no"
 });
 ...
 var fs = new dijit.form.FilteringSelect({
    value: 'One'
    name: "FormR", 
    placeHolder: "Select a number", 
    store: ds1
 });
