Set "select" field on a node programatically

in flag

I am creating nodes programmatically on a specific content type. The content type has a "select field" that I am trying to set value with and cannot do it. Below is my code:

 $node = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('node')->create(array(
      'type'  => 'level3',
      'title' => $file_name,
      field_level2_title => [
        'value' => 'Assessment'
      ],
      field_level3_title => $file_name,
      field_level3_readmore => [
        'uri' => $file_uri,
        'title' => $file_name
      ],
    ));

The select field name is "field_level2_title and I am unable to assign this. Any help?

A select element is a widget, not a field type. What type of field is it? (Entity Reference, Text, etc)

It's an entity reference field.

Then you need to assign it the ref ID.

Thanks for the comments above. the solution worked for me is as below:

field_level2_title => [ 'target_id' => $ref_id_field ]

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
