Ended up going into the forms.py file and adding a 'defaults' entry under the node which referenced a specific item in the proper e55.
Found an example in the arches-hip forms.py under the description form (description_type.e55). Seems to do what I needed and likely a lot easier than messing with the select2 stuff, although if I am missing something let me know. Thanks though.
