Rails form_for select, invalid selected when disabled: true

Can you guys help me with my little problem? this is my select tag:

<%= f.select :department_id, options_for_select(Department.in_order.map {|d| [d.name, d.id]}, obj.department_id), { prompt: true }, class: 'form-control input-sm', disabled: lambda {action_name == 'revise'} %>

if disabled: true is set, I get "Department is invalid" error on my validation. When not set, everything is fine.

This is due to the fact that HTML fields when disabled are not submitted with the form. What you need is readonly. Readonly gives you the same functionality as disabled but is still submitted with the form.
