[Freeswitch-users] unable to insert channel variable in new call leg w/in Lua script

[elijah]

Sorry if I wasted anyone's time. I've answered my own question. To set the
variable on the A-leg of a call originated by a Lua script I put the
variable here:

   local session = freeswitch.Session("{my_variable='" .. myVariable ..
"'}user/1001 at stuff.com")
   if session:hangupCause() == "SUCCESS" then
      session:transfer("ext_in_mycontext", "XML", "mycontext")
