has_many through additional (default) attribute values for through record on adding

rubyonrails-core
1

For example, I have a User, Achievement and AchievementDate. class User < ApplicationRecord has_many :achievement_dates has_many :achievements, through: :achievement_dates end

``

And when I write add an achievement like this: user.achievements << achievement

``

I want through record to be initialized with current date. So I want something like this:

class User < ApplicationRecord has_many :achievement_dates has_many :achievements, through: :achievement_dates, initialize_with: :method_name

private

def method_name(achievement_date) achievement_date.date = Date.current end end

``

Currently I could not find a good way to achieve such behavior in Rails 5.0.0.1, so please, give me some advice or feedback.
