There is only the call, nothing from the "h" extension.<br>
<br>
I forgot to mention that I'm using Asterisk 13.1-cert2. Modifying
CDR records in the "h" extension used to work fine with Asterisk
1.8.<br>
<br>
By analyzing the code I must confirm that the endbeforehexten option
behaves exactly according to its description: <br>
<tt> As each CDR for a channel is finished, its end time is updated</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> and the CDR is finalized. When a channel is hung up and
hangup</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> logic is present (in the form of a hangup handler or the</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> <literal>h</literal> extension), a new CDR is
generated for the</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> channel. Any statistics are gathered from this new CDR. By
enabling</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> this option, no new CDR is created for the dialplan logic
that is</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> executed in <literal>h</literal> extensions or
attached hangup handler</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> subroutines. The default value is
<literal>yes</literal>, indicating</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> that a CDR will be generated during hangup
logic.</para></tt><br>
<br>
I tried to delay the "h" extension by several seconds and I found
out, that the CDR record is sent to the cdr backend later.
Unfortunately, it is not modifiable from the "h" extension, because
the cdr_object is already in the finalized table.<br>
<br>
Is there a way how to modify the CDR without hacking the code?<br>

How bad idea is it to comment the (it_cdr->fn_table ==

It's not like we let folks update "core" CDR values in any case, so you aren't in any danger of changing the billsec on a forked CDR. The worst that happens is you update the userfield on forked & closed CDRs when you didn't think it would update, in which case I suppose you could just use another field.

trying to migrate from Asterisk 1.8 to Asterisk 13 and can't
figure this one out. I'm pretty sure the question has been
already asked, but I failed to find a solution. <br>
<br>
Can you modify CDR values in an h-extension? <br>
<br>
My cdr.conf contains: <br>
[general] <br>
enable=yes <br>
unanswered=yes <br>
endbeforehexten=yes <br>
initiatedseconds=no <br>
batch=no <br>
<br>
The diaplan contains a simple "h" extension <br>
exten => h,1,NoOp(${CDR(userfield)}) <br>
exten => h,n,Set(CDR(userfield)=changed<wbr>) <br>
exten => h,n,NoOp(${CDR(userfield)}) <br>
<br>
In the same context I execute: <br>
exten => 10,1,Set(CDR(userfield)=empty) <br>
exten => 10,n,Dial(SIP/10) <br>
<br>
The "h" extension outputs two lines with userfield set to
"empty". I would expect the second one to be "changed". It seems
that I can read the CDR values, but I can't change them. Is it a
bug or a design thing? Am I missing something? <br>
