It's not a bug really and I am surprised it hasn't been picked up before. The thing is that CF sees everything the same to some degree, however in this case the form scope maybe appearing to be a variable if written by CF so FORM.name Would indicate a structure to CF, but only if you got CF to set a form scope variable and not if it was posted.

Hi I've been doing some testing with the form scope and have been getting some inconsistent results on cf 4.5.1. AFAIK the form scope is available as a structure: If i have a form with the following field: <form name="myform" action="test3.cfm" method="post" > <input type="text" name="name" value="kola" > <input type="Submit" > </form> and on the action page create an additional form field, Then loop over the field names with the follwing code, only the real form field submmited by the form is displayed. <cfset form.fake = "hello" > <cfloop list="#fieldnames#" index="current"> <br><cfoutput>#current#</cfoutput> </cfloop> <hr> If I then loop over the form as a structure: <cfloop collection="#form#" item="current"> <br><cfoutput>#current#</cfoutput> </cfloop> The real form field(form.name), plus the one created on the action page (form.fake) and the fieldname variable (form.fieldname) are all displayed. So the question is, is this a feature or a bug?
