When we're talking about something like the "channelvars" parameter, which emits extra details in each response, those details can be ignored, and it won't have an effect.  But the issue here is that you're modifying the parameter list, and you're not providing a method to override those presets.  Beyond this, even the name seems wrong.  Whereas channel variables in sip.conf are populated every time the channel is instantiated, this new parameter only applies to a very limited set of commands (one!) in AMI.

I don't understand. If you use setvar= on a manager account you can override per call with the variable setting in the originate command.
