Not setting the rank when creating a new object

[dlynam]

Is there any way to not set the rank when creating a new object? For example, if I have

class Car < ActiveRecord::Base
  ranks :rank
end

Can I save a new Car object and keep the rank field nil?

Hi @dlynam, I don't believe so. The point of the rank is that everything in the scope has a rank. You could try scoping in such a way that the non-ranked car is outside the scope, then it wouldn't receive a rank?
