cfparam Cookie Issue

Question

Is this a bug?

Running the following produces an error no matter what 'type' attribute value is entered, even 'any'. However, it runs fine when the type attribute is omitted.

<cfparam name="cookie.factId" type="any" default="1">

Strange. I've just run again, trying type any and type integer, and both work fine. Perhaps a cache issue?

I'm running ColdFusion 2021 Update 4. I tried to upgrade to 5 recently but uninstalled it as it created an issue. I can't remember exactly what it was, but I gave up after a couple of attempts.

I appreciate your support. Thank you.

I do not expect that code to produce an error. In fact, when I run the following test code

<cfparam name="cookie.factId" type="any" default="1">
<cfdump var="#cookie#">

the result is

I am on ColdFusion 2021 Update 5.

What is your ColdFusion version and update level? Could you share the stacktrace/error-message?
