Installing coldbox for Adobe ColdFusion 2016 app

Hi, I’m super new to ColdBox and so I hope I’m not asking something dumb, your patience is greatly appreciated. I already have a few websites running on Adobe ColdFusion 2016, I discovered ColdBox and decided I would create a new application using this framework but I’m having a few issues that I imagine have to do with my current version of ColdFusion and ColdBox not supporting it. On a fresh install I get errors that refer to the fact that the framework is using “map” and “filter” instructions that I believe are not supported by ColdFusion 2016. Would it be possible to install older versions of ColdBox? or if you have any other ideas as to how can I go about solving this issue, I will greatly appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.

We do require ACF 2018+ per the docs

Generally speaking, when Adobe drops support for a version of CF, so do we.

You can use an older version of ColdBox, but you should really be looking at getting onto a supported version of ACF, or switching to Lucee if cost is an issue.

You rock! Thank you for your advice.
