             Summary: Unable to set CDR variable in h extension or hangup_handler
                 Key: ASTERISK-25458
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-25458
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: None
    Affects Versions: 13.6.0
            Reporter: Ross Beer
            Severity: Minor


It is not possible to add CDR variables in the h extension or the hangup_handler. 

The CDR should only be closed once the hangup block has been processed. This would allow for calls that dial more than one extension (or fail-over to a secondary route) to store the hangup cause etc for each dial attempt which is the same way CDRs are created in Asterisk 13.

Matthew Jordan via the dev mailing list commented:

"The short answer is that it is working as designed; the long answer is
that I think the design is wrong. (As the guy responsible, I feel like
I'm only throwing stones at myself.)

Keeping a single CDR running after channels have left a bridge was one
of those things that was relatively "easy" in 11 and earlier versions,
and is a bit more challenging in 13. I think in this case that we
probably should revisit the rules around it.

I do know this has come up a few times on the mailing lists, but I
don't think anyone has made an issue yet. Please do made one,
referencing this discussion.

Just to summarize what I think should happen:

endbeforehexten=no should cause no new CDR to be created in the 'h'
extension, and the 'end' time on the CDR should not be set. The CDR
should allow manipulation of its properties via the CDR function."
