First, as several people have noted, the Form scope is available within your custom tag, so you don't really have to pass anything to it. However, if you did have a custom tag that didn't automatically look in the Form scope, and you wanted to pass the Form scope as a structure to it, you don't need to copy it - you can pass it by reference: <cf_mycustomtag mystruct="#Form#"> This will simply create a new name for the existing Form structure; you can reference it with that new name within the custom tag. By default, structures are passed by reference, not by value, and unless you need a completely separate copy there's no need for you to force them to be passed by value with StructCopy or Duplicate.
