asterisk users - Dec 2005 - dial-out and variable inheritance problems

Hello,

extensions.conf:
[mytest-in]
exten => 1,1,NoOp(${MYVAR1})
exten => 1,n,Wait(20)
exten => 1,n,Hangup()

[mytest-out]
exten => 1,1,NoOp(${MYVAR1})
exten => 1,n,Dial(Zap/g1/061111111,10,H|g)

my test dial.out file:
Channel: Local/1@mytest-out
MaxRetries: 0
Context: mytest-in
Extension: 1
Priority: 1
Set: __MYVAR1=hello

The result:
    -- Attempting call on Local/1@mytest-out for 1@mytest-in:1 (Retry 1)
    -- Executing NoOp("Local/1@mytest-out-88e0,2", "hello")

    -- Executing Dial("Local/1@mytest-out-88e0,2",
"Zap/g1/061111111|10|H|g") in new stack

As you can see, the MYVAR1 variable did not inherit, which breaks my
dial-out application. This way it worked well for a long time, however
an upgrade to recent HEAD version broke things. Unfortunately I don't
know which version worked fine, I didn't use this feature for a long
time and just now I upgraded...

Anybody else experiencing this problem?

Yes, same here. This broke an application focussed on .call files after 
upgrade from 1.0.9 to 1.2.0. :-( It appears that in 1.2.0 variables can 
only be set for the Channel: part but not for the Extension: part. 
I think this is worth a bug report...
