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

In a Lua script I instantiate a new call leg and (attempt to) insert a new channel variable: local session = freeswitch.Session("user/1001@stuff.com") if session:hangupCause() == "SUCCESS" then session:execute("export", "my_variable=" .. myVariable) session:transfer("ext_in_mycontext", "XML", "mycontext") However, I am not able to retrieve my custom channel variable later. This call leg is established correctly but there is no point in this call leg's life where I can seem to find my variable. Is there another method by which I should try to insert a channel variable in a newly created call leg?
