Michael L. Young commented on ASTERISK-20639:
---------------------------------------------

Steven, I will submit the patch for review and then once it is given the okay, I will get it into the 1.8 branch.

The reason why I downgraded the severity to Minor is because there is a workaround; don't name extensions with an underscore in them.  For that reason, I downgraded it.

> We use dynamic hints with a func_odbc call to load the hints from a database.  However, when the extension contains an underscore the func_odbc call is not evaluated.
> Our hint context:
> {code}
> [blf]
> exten => _[+A-Za-z0-9*#].,hint,${READ_BLF_PHONE_LIST(${EXTEN})}
> {code}
> When we look up the hint for extension johnDoe we get something like:
> Hint: SIP/phoneA&SIP/phoneB
> But when we look up the hint for extension john_doe we get:
> Hint: ${READ_BLF_PHONE_LIST(${EXTEN})}
> As you can see the variables are not even being evaluated.  If there is any more information you need to debug this please let me know.
