I am currently updating a lot CF 11 code to CF 2018. One of the things I like is that semicolons are options most of the time. Having said that, I am stuggling with the thinking behind this:

Error

<cfscript>
rc = {}

param rc.data2 = ""
</cfscript>

You cannot use a variable reference with "." operators in this context The CFML compiler was processing:

A script statement beginning with param on line 3, column 1. A cfscript tag beginning on line 1, column 2.

Not an error

<cfscript>
rc = {}

param rc.data2 = "";
</cfscript>

I don't understand why.

I’m voting to close this question because this is a gripe, not a question. – Adrian J. Moreno Nov 16 '20 at 07:57
Tons of this kind of stuff upgrading from ACF 8 to 9, 9 to 10, 9 to 11, 10 to 11, yadda, yadda, yadda. :) – Adrian J. Moreno Nov 16 '20 at 07:58
