asterisk users - Nov 2016 - Problem "re-parking" calls

All;

    I have a problem with regards to "re-parking" calls and I was
hoping
someone could shed some light on the topic. Consider this scenario:

 

(1) An inbound call comes in and the attendant answers it

(2) The attendant places the call on hold and the caller is sent to
extension 701

(3) Blah, blah, blah. The attendant does something and tells John Doe to
pick up the call on extension 701

(4) The attendant then picks up the call on 701 and tells the person that
John Doe will be right there to help them

(5)  The attendant then re-parks the call but now the caller is sent to 702

(6) John Doe can't find the call anymore

 

 

Is there something obvious that I am missing? Has anyone else found this to
be a problem? Any insight at all would be greatly appreciated.

Regards;

John V.

Your problem occurs in step 4 & 5. I don't believe that you can pick up 
the call and then ever be guaranteed to get the same parking position when 
you put it back in park. What would happen if someone else parked a call 
in between steps 4 and 5 and they got 701 because it was free. Once 
parked, the call should remain so until it is picked up or times out back 
to the attendant.
