Hi there! Currently im using date\_select to select a day and month of the year. But i’m hiding the year since it is not important. But when i try to save to the database the controller complains that the year is missing. Can i set the year to for example Time.now.year in the model? date\_select(“timesheet”, “date”, :discard\_year =\> true, :use\_short\_month =\> true) Best regards, Simon ---

Hi, it seems that date(1i) is missing and that is why i get the error. But i would like to set the year in the model and use create in the controller instead of new where i can manually set the year.
