Upon adding "checked": "checked" setting to either parent or child nodes, this error happens and only the first node is checked; the error prevents from checking the other nodes.

Hi, update: I found a workaround. After your simTree is made and ready, run these lines in JS for all the parent nodes you want checked:

document.querySelector(`#tree > ul > li:nth-child(1) > a`).click();

loop the number in nth-child(1) from 1 to n (or do selectively - you should know the order in which your parent nodes are).
