You can pass the array for multiple selections like below.

var operation_day = "tuesday,wednesday,thursday" //editData.attr('data-operation_day');
var arr = operation_day.split(',');
$(".kt-selectpicker").val(arr)

Note: It's case sensitive. thursday is not equal to Thursday.

You can use .split(",") to convert them in array and then set value using selectpicker('val', operation_day.split(",")) lastly refresh your selectpicker.

Demo Code :

var operation_day = "tuesday,wednesday,thursday";
console.log(operation_day.split(","))
$('select').selectpicker('val', operation_day.split(",")); //split them and set value
$('select').selectpicker('refresh') //refresh ..selectpicker
