<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Matt brought it up that this is actually a backwards incompatible change - specifically changing priority into a string from an integer. What about having label as a separate argument that is optional? If present it's treated as a label and if not then the priority is used as normal. This allows labels to be used with no backwards incompatible changes and also makes it a bit more explicit from a developer side of what they want.</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Wow, that was actually my initial idea almost 4 weeks ago - the only issue was that I was feeling it was truly unclean. If you look into Asterisk docs, priority and labels and normally mixed. For example, if you use Goto in dialplan - you can do Goto(context,exten,priority) or Goto(context,exten,label). I personally feel it should work exactly the same, I see no point in having two methodologies. In addition, what should be used if both are defined? which has the stronger priority here? I feel this will also bring much confusion into the mix. Again, I can easily revert my original code work, but in my opinion it is very much confusing.
Anyone else would like to share their thought?</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">This is one of those cases where - unfortunately - changing the type of the field would break existing clients and libraries.
For example, if I were using Python and wanted to pass a priority into an origination, I might use the following:
channels.originate(endpoint='PJSIP/bob', context='default', extension='1000', priority=1)
That's different than:
channels.originate(endpoint='PJSIP/bob', context='default', extension='1000', priority='1')
I don't think we can change the type of the field without having to bump the ARI version to 2.0. That means using a different field, as was originally proposed.
I do think that if we bump the major version to 2.x, this needs to be merged with the existing priority field. I've got a wiki page started for these kinds of things:

1. Originating a call to a numeric priority - works
2. Originating a call to a null priority - works
3. Originating a call to a label - works
4. Continue a call to a label - not tested yet</pre>
