Summary:                    Setting CDR(userfield) fails when called from inside
a Macro initiated from a feature.
Description: 
I use a feature code to enable recording with MixMonitor (mapped to the
Record button on a snom FWIW). 

The feature calls a macro and in that macro I set CDR(userfield) with the
recording filename.

When the cdr record is written out (in cdr_mysql and in cdr-customer csv
format) the CDR(userfield) is blank.

If I set CDR(userfield) elsewhere in my dialplan, it does propogate
through to the CDR records correctly.

As I use the CDR(userfield) to get the recording filename in my web
interface this is a bit annoying :-(

I don't think you can, from the callee channel.  Everything must be done
from the caller channel, as that is where the CDR is located.  Another
approach might be to create an inheritable variable before you create the
slave channel, then post a record to a database with the value in that
inherited variable, along with the value you want set, then associate the
two records together later.
