Thank you Anthony.

That fixed it.

Use app set_profile_var to set caller_id_name instead.

Hi.

My goal is to set the Caller-Caller-ID-Name for inbound calls going into
a conference.

I set the effective_caller_id_name before the call gets sent into the
conference.

Here is a log

conference(12001@wideband)
EXECUTE sofia/external/anonymous@anonymous.invalid
conference(12001@wideband)

I see from the channel variables it is being set:

variable_export_vars: effective_caller_id_name
variable_effective_caller_id_name: test

But the Caller-Caller-ID-Name variable doesn't get updated after the
call gets bridged to the conference room.

Is there a different way I should be doing this?

thanks,

Geoff
