[asterisk-users] Answered time on channel

My issue seems to be that I am using local channels. So for instance if I
have:

[incoming]
Exten => _X.,1,NooP()
Exten => _X.,n,Dial(Local/${EXTEN}@out1/n)
Exten => _X.,n,Dial(Local/${EXTEN}@out2/n)

Exten => h,1,DumpChan()


[out1]
exten => _X.,1,Noop
 same => n,Set(MASTER_CHANNEL(start_timestamp)=${STRFTIME(,,%s.%3q)})
 same => n,Set(CHANNEL(hangup_handler_push)=hangup_handler,s,1)
 same => n,Set(MASTER_CHANNEL(callid_ingress)=${SIPCALLID})
 same => n,Dial(SIP/1111${EXTEN}@1.1.1.1:5063
,,U(answer_handler)b(pre_dial_handler^s^1))

Exten => h,1,DumpChan()
[out2]
exten => _X.,1,Noop
 same => n,Set(MASTER_CHANNEL(start_timestamp)=${STRFTIME(,,%s.%3q)})
 same => n,Set(CHANNEL(hangup_handler_push)=hangup_handler,s,1)
 same => n,Set(MASTER_CHANNEL(callid_ingress)=${SIPCALLID})
 same => n,Dial(SIP/2222${EXTEN}@1.1.1.1:5063
,,U(answer_handler)b(pre_dial_handler^s^1))

Exten => h,1,DumpChan()

[pre_dial_handler] ; this is called on the outgoing (callee) channel
exten => s,1,Noop
 same => n,Set(MASTER_CHANNEL(callid_egress)=${SIPCALLID})
 same => n,Set(MASTER_CHANNEL(dial_timestamp)=${STRFTIME(,,%s.%3q)})
 same => n,Return


[answer_handler] ; run on outgoing (callee) channel, but sets
answer_timestamp in the caller channel
exten => s,1,Noop
 same => n,Set(MASTER_CHANNEL(answer_timestamp)=${STRFTIME(,,%s.%3q)})
 same => n,Return


[hangup_handler]  ; run on incoming (caller) channel, use to do final post
call cleanup
exten => s,1,Noop
  same => n,Set(MASTER_CHANNEL(hangup_timestamp)=${STRFTIME(,,%s.%3q)})
  same => n,Return




When using MASTER_CHANNEL it sets it on the channel that created the local
channel (so it ends up in context incoming and NOT in out1). Not sure if
this is a bug since the context incoming is generating the channel that
calls out1 that then calls the answer_handler.
