Ugh, it doesn't look like we can patch
select_date/select_time/select_datetime to support the :name parameter
without completely overriding those methods. However, those methods do
support :prefix, which functions exactly like :name would function.

So try:

module AssetsHelper
  def date_received_form_column(record, input_name)
    select_date record[:date_received], :prefix => input_name,
:include_blank => true
  end
end
