The syntax you're suggesting is not valid and will not work. When you call
a custom tag, the actual number of attributes and attribute names being
passed to it are static in the code.
Your options are:
1. Use IIF() within the attribute values to determine the value to be
passed, such as:
MustChangePassword="#iif(FORM.select IS "mcp", de('yes'), de('no'))#"
Using IIF() should be avoided whenever possible because it's slow, difficult
for many developers to grasp and just plain evil. Not to mention your
nested CFIF statements will need to be integrated into each of the IIF()
calls. Very messy. Please don't do this.
2. Use a block of code (CFIF's, CFPARAM's, whatever you need) to determine
the value of all of the variables in advance and pass them to the call to
the custom tag. This is probably your best bet.
3. If the tag has mutually exclusive attributes, you can run your CFIF block
and call the custom tag with the required attributes and values at each
level of the nest. This would be the most flexible, but you'll end up
repeating a lot of code.
Hopefully that will shine a little bit of light on it..
