What, this wasn't clear enough: Steps to Reproduce: 1) do a form post 2) make a structcopy 3) update form key of copy 4) dump / output form ?? That's exactly what I did for my testing, and it clearly demonstrates the issue. What code did YOU try? How about you demonstrate some effort in understanding the issue, rather than fall back to us doing your work for you? (that said, let me dish out the code... in the mean time, pls post how you'd been trying to repro it, I'm fascinated to see how you *couldn't* repro this). -- Adam

The repro can be a lot simpler than that. See large spiel here: http://cfmlblog.adamcameron.me/2014/09/repro-of-structcopy-bug.html And very simple repro: <cfscript> // urlBug.cfm URL.testKey = "value set in URL scope"; copy = structCopy(URL); copy.testKey = "value set in copy"; writeDump(var=URL, label="URL scope after change made to copy"); </cfscript>

I see that I indeed uploaded the complex version. In the end we simplified it to the version that you described. Thanks for the simple version. Form and Url scope both have this problem. Since the session scope is also not really a struct we expect it to have the same problem.

Ran into this bug, and had to work around it.

FFS. If you're going to mark something as "fixed", can you pls tell us WHICH VERSION IT'S FIXED IN! One version it is NOT fixed in is 11,0,03,292480. Which is the most current version of CF publically available, as far as I know? So which version IS it fixed in? And how is it that I need to actually ask this question??! -- Adam

The fix for this bug is available in the pre-release build of ColdFusion 11 Update 5

This was raised against ColdFusion 10, so fixing it in ColdFusion 11 is not good enough.

+1 to Adam's comment. StructCopy() should also work properly on CF10. Thanks!, -Aaron

+1. You said it, it just weird to fix a bug in a version that is wasn't raised at.
