I agree with the idea, but I'm not sure of the current implementation. Let's
take a specific example. I want to perform fuseaction "doThis". I am passing
a set of hidden and exposed form variables to the index.cfm with a
fuseaction of "doThis". But now, I want to suspend the operation and make
the user perform another fuseaction, "doThat". When the user is all done, I
want him/her to go back to "doThis" AND I want all those form variables
restored.
In other words, I want a snapshot of my state taken, then have the user do
something else, then go back to "doThis" with all those original form
variables intact. In looking at the code, it doesn't seem that it's tring to
save any form variables.
I'm going to post a refinement to returnfuseaction and see if you don't like
it better -- at least it works better for me. It suspends the state, then
restores the state and does this as form variables, so that sensitive
variables aren't exposed as readily.

ya, it would convert the form variables to URL variables ala
<cf_formurl2attributes>. So it does have the limitation of 1000
characters in the URL. The main reason is that cflocation doesn't allow
for form variables.
I haven't found this to be a problem because I find that I end up
setting the returnfuseaction before the page that the user is inputting
information in a form. Does that make sense?
I'll try and do some more tutorials on this tag in the next week or so.
It's an amazingly powerful tag and will make your life much easier. :)
