Maybe something like this. I only changed 'default items {2}' into 'default items {item 2 of theList}' and it works for me.

You are right, this is a possible workaround/alternative, but the standard addition dictionary says:

No, it is not a workaround; it is the way to do it.

So if i'm right, the dictionary tells me that i can preselect some items by number(index in list) or by content.

You're not right; the dictionary tells you that you can preselect some items by content; the content can be a number or a string.

Try this:

set theList to {1, "A", 2, "B", 3, "C"}

choose from list theList default items {2, "C"} with multiple selections allowed
