Conclusive documention in `cm find -?`
cm find -?
directs the user to https://www.plasticscm.com/documentation/cmfind/plastic-scm-version-control-query-system-guide.shtml
Unfortunately, that documentation isn't nearly as useful as it could be. It lacks a conclusive list of object types, it lacks a conclusive list of searchable/printable properties, and those that it does list are scattered throughout examples and explanations. We need a simple, no-frills lookup table because we don't know the source code like you do.
cm showfindobjects
seems like a step in the right direction, but it's missing object types and properties that are listed in the online documentation.
Trying to figure out something like "given a file path, how do I get the GUID for its current revision?" is far too difficult.
We greatly improved cm showfindobjects thanks to your heads up :-)
We plan to continue doing more and more improvements, so your feedback will be welcome.

Ok Max, thanks for the heads up.
Yes, I think we can easily compose that list.
