Leaving date/time blank in Rails datetime_select

Question

Is there an easy way to have the option to not specify a date or datetime in a Rails form that uses datetime_select, date_select or time_select? By default, the fields are set at the current date/time and there's no way to not choose a date/time.

Using Rails 3.2.8

Answer 1

What you want is the include_blank option: (Nil value on datetime_select?)

f.datetime_select :attr_name, include_blank: true
