This is a valid issue, but I am posting this more as a heads up for future users of this plugin. There have been many issues already logged for this error, with no real resolution. It seems the author of this plugin is no longer actively maintaining it, so be aware that you will need to pretty much fend for yourself with any issues with this plugin.

When trying to use the setList method you might run into this issue:

In any case, if you receive this error as many others have, you will need to check two main things:

  1. jQuery can actually find the element it is to set values for
  2. The elements that you are settings values for are "registered" with this plugin

I say "registered" because this plugin uses its own system to clone the inputs found in the DOM. This list can be found in jquery.input.js, but here's a pic:

In my code, I had this tel input that was causing the error:

After a few frustrating hours and basically dissecting this entire plugins source code (hence how I found out how this plugin "registers" the inputs that it will actually work with), I found that simply changing that input from a tel to a text solved the problem

I hope this saves someone the time and frustration.
