Summary:                    Custom CDR values not logged when dialing with local
channels
Description: 
I'm using the AGI to generate outobund calls using local channels to
provide a Dial button so that agents don't have to dial their phones.

The problem is if i use Channel: Local/$extension at inside-leg the custom
CDR values i set do not get logged in cdr-custom.  If i use Channel:
SIP/$extension the values do get logged properly.  The standard CDR values
get logged, but anything else doesn't that i make up on my own for instance
CDR(uicallid) will not get passed through.

if i show the channel during a call, it will not show the variables having
been set, but if i turn on verbosity i can see the SET command set the
variable, and if i do a NoOp on the variable it will print out on the
console.  

 core show channel SIP/OCS_TRUNK-00000016 (dialed directly using SIP/)

  CDR Variables:

Well you're assigning to a Local channel which isn't using /n from what I
can see, which makes that channel get optimized out when a connection is
made, and likely the channel variables etc... are then dropped from
memory.

Try one of two things:

1) /n at the end of your Local channel, such as
Local/${EXTEN}@myContext/n

2) Try making the information inherited to the next channel by prefixing
your Set()'s with an underscore

Set(_CDR(extension)=1234)

Beyond that, I believe this is a feature request if it was never working,
in which case a patch would need to be supplied to make this work. You are
welcome to discuss on the asterisk-dev list to determine if this is true or
not though.

Thanks!
