How to change default boolean value via submit button?

The user can choose of one of two submit buttons. If he clicks <%= f.submit :conceal %> how can the default value be made to change from false to true?

t.boolean  "conceal",           default: false

because right now if the user clicks the button - the default value remains false:

[1] pry(main)> Valuation.find(9)
  Valuation Load (0.2ms)  SELECT  "valuations".* FROM "valuations" WHERE "valuations"."id" = ? LIMIT 1  [["id", 9]]
=> #<Valuation:0x007fdf26c736b8
 id: 9,
 conceal: false,
 user_id: 1,
 created_at: Thu, 23 Apr 2015 16:21:31 UTC +00:00,
 updated_at: Thu, 23 Apr 2015 16:21:31 UTC +00:00,
 likes: nil,
 name: "Conceal/Private/Hide">

This didn't work <%= f.submit :conceal => true %>.

class ValuationsController < ApplicationController
  before_action :set_valuation, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy, :like]
  before_action :logged_in_user, only: [:create, :destroy]

  def index
    if params[:tag]
      @valuations = Valuation.tagged_with(params[:tag])
    else
      @valuations = Valuation.order('RANDOM()')
    end
  end

  def show
    @valuation = Valuation.find(params[:id])
    @commentable = @valuation
    @comments = @commentable.comments
    @comment = Comment.new
  end

  def new
    @valuation = current_user.valuations.build
  end

  def edit
  end

  def create
    @valuation = current_user.valuations.build(valuation_params)
    if @valuation.save
      track_activity @valuation
      redirect_to @valuation, notice: 'Value was successfully created'
    else
      @feed_items = []
      render 'pages/home'
  end
end

  def update
    if @valuation.update(valuation_params)
      track_activity @valuation
      redirect_to @valuation, notice: 'Value was successfully updated'
    else
      render action: 'edit'
  end
end

  def destroy
    @valuation.destroy
    redirect_to valuations_url
  end

  def like
    without_tracking do
      @valuation.increment!(:likes)
    end
    @valuation.create_activity :like
    flash[:success] = 'Thanks for sharing your Value!'
    redirect_to valuation_path(@valuation)
  end

private

    def without_tracking
      Valuation.public_activity_off
      yield if block_given?
      Valuation.public_activity_on
    end

    def set_valuation
      @valuation = Valuation.find(params[:id])
    end

    def correct_user
      @valuation = current_user.valuations.find_by(id: params[:id])
      redirect_to valuations_path, notice: "Not authorized to edit this valuation" if @valuation.nil?
    end

    def valuation_params
      params.require(:valuation).permit(:name, :conceal, :tag_list, :content, :commentable, :comment, :like)
    end
end

The submit method takes an argument for what name it will show up as, but that's only useful for determining which button, if there's more than one, was used to submit the form.

What you want to do is introduce a hidden field that has the right naming convention so you can use update_attributes, or you need to test for the presence of params[:commit] which, if present, means someone pressed that button:

if (params[:commit] == 'conceal')
  @valuation.conceal = true
end
