[Bug]: maxOptions now accepting any values, and my droplist stays limited to the first 50 items

[ogarocious]

Bug description

Despite trying multiple setting for maxOptions (I've tried null, false, '', and even an integer of 500 & 1000000 and my dropdown field for my site is still being limited to 50 items.

When I remove the select-dancestyle if from the dropdown field in my Rails app, I lose the TomSelect JS look and my list of dance styles is completee.

  <%= f.select :dance_style_ids, DanceStyle.sorted.all.pluck(:name, :id),
    { label: "What are the main dance styles that will be represented at this event?",
      help: "Select the main dance styles that will be represented in the classes and/or socials." }, 
    { multiple: true, id: "select-dancestyle" } %>

const selectDancestyle = document.getElementById('select-dancestyle');
if (selectDancestyle) {
  new TomSelect(selectDancestyle, {
    maxOptions: 500,
    plugins: {
      remove_button: {
        title: 'Remove this dance style.'
      }
    },
    onItemAdd: function () {
      this.setTextboxValue('');
      this.refreshOptions();
    },
  });
}

The plugin for remove button is working.

Expected behavior

When I remove the select-dancestyle if from the dropdown field in my Rails app, I lose the TomSelect JS look and my list of dance styles is complete.

I'm expecting my list of dance styles to show completely, instead of being limited to 50.

Steps to reproduce

I have a separate tomselect.JS file that's being used in my Rails App, versus the JS code being on my same view page.

FWIW, I just noticed that my drop-downs were limited to 50 options. I realised I hadn't set maxOptions at all, set it to null, and now all of my many options are shown. So Tom Select seems to be working in this regard for me, anyway. Perhaps it's something else affecting your dropdown?

v.2.3.1.
