ActiveAdmin form validation before save

I have form fields from one model status_history that I am including in my member edit. I am wanting to make it so that if the fields for status_history are empty, then it will not save. Currently it is saving blank items to status_history when I save a members edit.

My member form looks like this

form(:html => { :multipart => true }) do |f|
    f.semantic_errors *f.object.errors.keys
    columns do
      column do
        ...
      end
      column do
        f.inputs "Status" do
          f.semantic_fields_for :status_histories, StatusHistory.new do |sh|
            sh.inputs :class => "" do
              sh.input :status, as: :select, collection: {Active: "active", Inactive: "inactive", Separated: "separated"}
              sh.input :date, :as => :datepicker
              sh.input :reason
            end
          end
          table_for member.status_histories do
            column "status" do |status_histories|
              status_histories.status
            end
            column "date" do |status_histories|
              status_histories.date
            end
            column "reason" do |status_histories|
              status_histories.reason
            end
          end
        end

...
      end
    end
    f.actions
  end

models/status_histories

class StatusHistory < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :member

  STATUS_TYPES = [ "active", "inactive", "separated" ]
  validates :status, inclusion: STATUS_TYPES
  validates :date, :presence => true
  validates :reason, :presence => true
end

Even adding a button that would toggle the semantic_fields_for would work but currently if I leave them blank I get validates errors.

How would I override the save method to check if status and date are present and if so save the status_history and if not, do not save the status_history but save the rest of the member fields?

Try this:

in Member ActiveRecord model

accept_nested_attributes_for :status_histories, reject_if: :all_blank
