In the Rails docs, the first two listed options for the select helper are :include_blank and :prompt. I’ve just realized that I’m using both in my code, but they seem to be interchangeable. Can anyone explain the difference? It’s not clear to me from reading the docs.

    Main difference is:

    include_blank: true
    

    will render a blank option but

    prompt: true
    

    will execute

    I18n.translate('helpers.select.prompt', :default => 'Please select')
