Hello all,

I’m wanting to use select\_date more then once in my form, as I would  
like to offer users the chance to refine paginated results to only those  
added between two dates.

But when using select\_date more then once, I notice they both share the  
same html name (date), is there a way to set the name with select\_date  
or otherwise tell them apart at controller level?

Thanks
