Summary:                    Cannot add multiple trunks with same username using
version 2.0 of GUI
Description: 
The new GUI uses the "username" field to set the context names in
users.conf and extensions.conf while the old GUI used the "trunkname". 
This change was implemented because of AA50-2113.  However I believe that
this change is flawed in both theory and implementation.  See exchange in
lists.digium.com attached below...

Pari,
  I changed the pbx.js file as you recommended.  This does not revert back
to the "version 1" GUI behavior as I had hoped, rather it behaves as
documented in the bug you cited.... "trunk_1" etc.  This breaks service
providers that requre asterisk to match the incoming call with the context
name.  In the case of the first bug report that needed to be the username.
In the case of my service provider, it needs to be the trunkname
("vitel-inbound" for vitelity.net).

Bottom line, you need to revert to GUI version 1 behavior (using the
trunkname) or add a new field for the user to enter a context name. 
Generating one automatically isn't going to work with some service
providers.
