The cfgridupdate tag cannot find the grid named doclist
Question
I am following this guide on creating an editable cfgrid: CFGRID GUIDE
However, I am running into an error where it's saying cfgridupdate cannot find the gridname docgrid but I can't see where this could be caused. I have a page called handle_grid.cfm, which will run one of two queries to update data. Can someone spot what I might be missing here?

In your link to the CFGRID docs :
Under "Creating an editable grid":
Pass grid edits to a page that includes the
cfgridupdatetag, which automatically extracts the form variable values and passes that data directly to the data source. Using thecfquerytag gives you complete control over interactions with your data source. Thecfgridupdatetag provides a much simpler interface for operations that do not require the same level of control.
This seems that the cfgridupdate statement should be on a separate page from the cfgrid . You should have the page with the grid, edits would post to the page with cfgridupdate . You have them both on the same page.
To reiterate Adam's comment, CFGRID and the other CF UI controls are straight trash compared to modern UI libraries. If this is new code, I would recommend replacing this grid with one of these:
Update:
https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-tags/tags-gh/cfgridupdate.html
There's an example here that shows a condition check before using cfgridupdate .
<!--- If the gridEntered form field exists, the form was submitted. Perform gridupdate. --->
<cfif IsDefined("form.gridEntered") is True>
<cfgridupdate grid = "FirstGrid"
dataSource = "cfdocexamples" Keyonly="true"
tableName = "CourseList">
</cfif>

Do you have the stack trace of the error? Also it doesn't look like this is the issue but there's an extra ' after in the code you posted.
