Is there a way I can force Splunk to ignore all date/time values found in a csv and use ingest time for the _time value?

I have a simple .csv I ingest daily via a monitored file, my .csv has some fields in it that show dates/time, but they do NOT represent the time I want the event indexed at. 
I want the _time to show the time the .csv field was ingested and for Splunk to ignore the other fields in the .csv which have dates/time present. 

I have created a new source type by cloning .csv and set the timestamp to use "current time", however, Splunk will still prefer to use random dates/times found in field values and only use "current time" when no fields contain any other time information.

I can "fix" this by manually adding a time field in the .csv before ingesting, but I am trying to automate this process as much as possible.

Is there a way I can force Splunk to ignore all date/time values found in a .csv and use ingest time for the _time value?

Thank you in advance!

Putting DATETIME_CONFIG = CURRENT in the appropriate props.conf stanza should do it.  If that fails, try DATETIME_CONFIG = NONE.

That works perfectly, thank you!
