a structure in and of itself is just...a variable. Whether or not it "persists" depends on the scope in which the variable (structure) exists.
the form scope (which is a structure) exists on the form's action page, and will not persist beyond that. You could put it into the session scope: <cfset session.userFormData = duplicate(form) /> Make sure you use duplicate, since structCopy will create a pointer to the form scope/struct, which will cease to exist past the action page. duplicate() creates a deep copy and the new variable will exist on its own, independent of the original structure from which it was copied.
