Request variable

Last update:
May 18, 2026
Request variables store data about the processing of one page request. Request variables store data in a structure that can be passed to nested tags, such as custom tags, and processed once.

To provide information to nested tags, set a Request variable, as follows:
<CFSET Request.field_name1 = "value"> 

<CFSET Request.field_name2 = "value"> 

<CFSET Request.field_name3 = "value"> 

...
Each nested tag can access the variable with the cfoutput tag, as follows:
<CFOUTPUT>#Request.field_name1#</CFOUTPUT>
