Summary:ASTERISK-27161: Local channel incorrectly changes its designated CallerIDNum

Description:We have detected that, when performing an Originate action through AMI to a local channel using a custom callerid, the local channel changes its CallerIDNum to that of the produced SIP channel, instead of retaining the callerid specified in the originate action. This causes the resulting call to present a caller ID number different to the one requested.

This behavior was different in asterisk versions 11 and back.

The manager action used to produce the call was the following:

{noformat}
action: Originate
channel: Local/mboZYVBvr5VVkyQtfDkoxvAzQ1@mb_all_calls
timeout: 20000
callerid:  <5432>
account: TestPhone1
application: Dial
data: SIP/TestPhone2,20
actionid: mboZYVBvr5VVkyQtfDkoxvAzQ1
async: 1
variable:
{noformat}

The call is then directed by the dialplan to a FastAGI application which performs this single action:

{noformat}
EXEC "Dial" "SIP/TestPhone1"
{noformat}

As you can see in the attached logfile, line 404, the local channel changes its Caller ID to that of the resulting SIP channel. So, the above call arrives at the destination device with a Caller ID number "TestPhone1" instead of "5432".

Asterisk log file with debug verbosity 9.

John, I spoke with a core developer who believes this is normal behavior for recent versions of Asterisk.

Check out this page:

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Manipulating+Party+ID+Information#ManipulatingPartyIDInformation-PartyIDpropagation

Let me know if it makes sense after reading through that.

The party ID propagation gives a local channel origination example.  You need to use the Dial 'I' option to block the connected line update to prevent the local channel caller id from being updated.

Rusty, Richard, thank you very much for your answer, the "I" switch does the job. TBH, I did my research on the subject before I posted the issue, but I didn't find anything relevant. Also, the "I" switch exists at least since v. 1.8, but the callerid propagation behavior did not exist until Asterisk 12. Maybe it should be made clear in the documentation that this switch affects callerid propagation specifically, it would greatly help someone researching the issue.

John the documentation looks alright to me. If you have a very specific suggestion where something could be improved (wiki, command line, source, etc) let me know and I'll add it in. You can E-mail me at rnewton at digium dot com.
