<div style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">I'm working on the ability to set the uniqueid on channel creation via ami and ari, and I've run into a quandary:</div>
<div style="color:rgb(102,0,0)"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">When Asterisk dials over chan_local, it creates a LOCAL/something;1 channel, and another LOCAL/something;2 channel to handle the other end of the call. If I'm specifying the uniqueid when I originate the call, I would presume it would be set to the ;1 channel, as that's the one I'm actually talking to. But should there be something identifiable (rather than the standard 012345678.123 uniqueid format) on the ;2 channel? For example, if I create the ;1 channel as 'MyCustomId', would it be useful to have the uniqueid of the ;2 channel be 'MyCustomId;2' ?</div>
