Someone just left this comment against an older blog article on a similar topic:

Stack Overflow is basically the Stanford Prison Experiment playing out on the internet.Classic.
I tend to be a bit "forthright": I think CF is a good product, but I won't blindly defend it in all circumstances, and I have been quite critical of ColdFusion and Adobe at times. This will come out occasionally here: I make no apology for it.It says that on every page of the blog. And I put it there on every page for a reason.
If you are updating a scheduled task via the cfschedule tag it is possible for some of the task info to be reset back to default. For example, if task had an eventhander configured and cfschedule was used to update task but eventhandler attribute was not used then eventhandler would be set to blank. The eventhandler attribute is just one example as this affects other attributes equally.So that's a bit rubbish.
This is by design. As this action re-creates the schedule task. For updating particular attributes of an existing task it is recommended to use admin UIThis is yet another example of Adobe people being bloody jobsworths, IMO. I am gobsmacked by the stunning ignorance of Uday's justification here on two levels:
G'day:
This is a lazy post, as it's just linking to another article, and a bit of me wittering on. But so be it.
Maybe you read my article ages ago, "Need help? Know how to ask for it". Here's more advice along the same vein.
Peter Boughton (who doesn't appear to exist on social media, damn him!), is one of the most clued-up CFML dudes I know, and is the most helpful person - by far - on the ColdFusion feed on Stack Overflow. Today he was addressing a question on Stack Overflow, and was confounded by example code that didn't compile, thus making it a bit hard to work out what was wrong with it. Yeah, sure, he could wade through it and fix it and then run it, but - really - why should he have to? If you're asking for help, then you should be doing as much of the work as possible to present your problem, and the person helping you should only be doing the bare minimum of wading through your stuff to work out what's wrong with it. They should not be fixing your example code so that it can even run! In most of the help forums we are just volunteers, and we give up our time to help. So it'd be good for people to respect that idea, and minimise the amount of time we need to invest in getting your code working.
And the thing that most people really seem to not get is the code needs to fulfill the following criteria for it to be effective example code:
That's my summary of the very good doc that Peter pointed the person asking the question to. The doc is here: "The SSCCE: Short, Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example". If you ever need to ask for help with code… read and understand that. And as per my earlier article, also read and understand this one: "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way".
And don't waste people's time, when you're expecting them to help you.
Righto.

Adobe® ColdFusion® application server enables developers to rapidly build, deploy, and maintain Java™–EE applications for the enterprise.That said, I think the description is fine, other than the misuse of "CFML".
