You should remove the quotes from your boolean values.
@completed_cfdym = 'true' should be @completed_cfdym = true this
should solve the Completed cfdym is not a valid response error.
To preserve form values after failure you have to use params[:fieldname]
<%= f.select :completed_cfdym, params[:completed_dfdym],{'' => nil, 'Yes'
=> true, 'No' => false}, {}, { :class => 'span1' } %>
Then use render in your controller on form submit failure.
