select, option, find selected, dropdown
//find selection
$('#selectDailyStocktakeSetting').find(":selected").val();
$('#mySelect').find('option').not(':first').remove();
//To remove all the options except one with a specific value, you can use this:
$('#mySelect').find('option').not('[value=123]').remove();
//This would be better if the option to be added was already there.

<option value="">@UIResources.DropdownSelect</option>
