You're really gotta fix this sort of thing.

I dunno how you can think it's still OK to have it in the system too full releases later.

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

This is not fixed in CF11 Update 5 (nor in build 11.0.0.294632). The following still throws "Error while parsing the validateparam" (unless the comma is removed from both validateparams):

MyCFC.cfc
---------
component accessors="true" {

  property name="myProperty1" validate="regex" validateparams="{pattern=[!@,]}";
  property name="myProperty2" validate="regex" validateparams="{pattern=[!]{1,}}";
  
  function init() {
    setMyProperty1("!");
    setMyProperty2("!");
  }
}

index.cfm
---------
<cfscript>
  o = new MyCFC();
  writeOutput(o.getMyProperty1());
  writeOutput(o.getMyProperty2());
</cfscript>

Can this ticket please be re-opened and fixed?

Thanks!,

Regarding my last comment, Adobe replied on #CF-4044095:

----------------------
If a pattern consists of a comma(,) then the pattern should be enclosed in quotes. Like for example in the above example,
1) validateparams="{pattern= '[!@,]' }"
2) validateparams="{pattern= '[!]{1,}' }" 
----------------------

That was undocumented, but is documented now at https://wikidocs.adobe.com/wiki/display/coldfusionen/Functions

Thanks!,
