Any idea why CFFILE Write does not support making it unique but CFFile Upload does?
I’m using CFFILE Write to handle a GetHttpRequestData, and being able to support making it unique would be very helpful. Any ideas?

Well, it doesn’t. You’ll have to roll your own unique names by first checking if the file exists and if it does, then add on some additional character(s) and repeat check/add until you’ve found something unique.
Alternatively, you always prepend something that ought to be fairly unique (e.g. date-time-incremental number).
