That fixed it. The fix was to change hours to ${hours} in the condition field.

Fields are a specific set of attributes of the call... you can however check variables in a condition, it just has a slightly different syntax. Try this. <extension name="public_did"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^(.*)$"> <action inline="true" application="set" data="hours=1"/> </condition> <condition field="${hours}" expression="^1$"> <action application="answer"/> <action application="ivr" data="GAC-BH"/> <action application="hangup"/> <anti-action application="answer"/> <anti-action application="ivr" data="GAC-BH"/> <anti-action application="hangup"/> </condition> </extension> Also note I changed your regex of "1" to "^1$". The first matches any string containing a digit 1 including 10, 21, 100, 200351. The latter matches the start (^) and end ($) of the string so will only match the exact string of 1. -Steve On 25 July 2011 20:54, Joshua Foshee <Joshua.Foshee@logixcom.com> wrote: I am trying to set a variable in the dial plan and use it on a condition.
