asterisk users - Apr 2015 - Function IMPORT and Local channels

Hi all

These questions were asked back in 2009 at lists.digium.com and got unanswered:

- Has someone been successful in using IMPORT on a Local channel ? 
- Is there a known limitation in doing so ?

I run into the same problem.

${IMPORT(Local/1234 at example-abcd;2,CALLERID(dstchannel))} returns nothing.
But I can read the dstchannel for it into the CDR.

Asterisk is 11.7.0~dfsg-1ubuntu1

Regards

MY MISTAKE HERE!!

the correct instance is:

${IMPORT(Local/1234 at example-abcd;2,CDR(dstchannel))}

Stupid cut and paste error.

sorry for that.

Opps!! Maybe I got no answers up to this moment because I did not explained my
mistake correctly.

What I meant was that I made a mistake when choosing from where to copy the text
into the mail. My coding is correct.

The problem of having IMPORT returning nothing to CDR(dstchannel) when channel
is "Local/...", is there. 

mysql> select channel,dstchannel from cdr where channel like
"Local%" or dstchannel like "Local%" limit 2;
+-------------------------+-------------------------+
| channel                 | dstchannel              |
+-------------------------+-------------------------+
| SIP/jane_doe-0069ff70   | Local/1234 at trunk-1908;1 |
| Local/1234 at trunk-1908;2 | SIP/john_doe-00811c40   |
+-------------------------+-------------------------+

Shouldn't "same => n,Set(test=${IMPORT(Local/1234 at
trunk-1908;2,CDR(dstchannel))})" yield to test=SIP/john_doe-00811c40 ?
