It’s there, but null. With null support off, that makes it “undefined” by cfml standards. However, you can concatenate a string with null and the null just turns into an empty string.
I think ACF just literally doesn’t define it, even as null.
Looks like ACF populates the arguments scope with the key ss and lets the value undefined, while Lucee seems to assign the value to null to that key, that is casted to an empty string on ouput.
