I would respectfully argue for the "worth the time to implement it" not because a large number of developers would have this problem but rather the assumption/oversight of server-side validation such as _date prefix that there won't be column name ending with _date has proven to be incorrect/clear. In addition, when CF is used to built software tool, the notion of "workaround", honestly, IMHO, not acceptable, for it seriously compromises code efficiecy. So, here, again, I was and am asking MM to remedy the server-side validation oversight. Thanks.
Don Li P.S. 1. One of my postings related to this topic never showes up in the list; P.S. 2. In that particular posting, as I recall, I said something like, "I hope, you and other folks would be on my side to ask MM to ..." but later, the "I hope" did not appear in the quote, which made it sound like I demanded ... that was not the intention. --- "S.
