origination_caller_id number is not ok as a variable unless its in {} as part of the dial string
it's an exception that is parsed before the channel is even created.

I think you are drawing the wrong conclusion about what works and doesn't work.
If you can produce a dial string that contains {origination_caller_id_number=x} you will always be able to set it.

I assume you are using a recent version of FS as we did have a small bug with this variable a few weeks ago.

Hello Anthony,

I do this when I orginate the call. This way we suppress the cid when we
call party A and transfer A to an internal extension (our callback
application).
But now comes the part that does not work:
After A enters the target number B (via DTMF), we set the cid variables
via uuid_setvar and then transfer A via uuid_transfer to party B.
However uuid_setvar does not work in that case.

BUT: If we do the same scenario and do not suppress the cid in the
originate part, then uuid_setvar works correctly and sets the cid_number.

Best regards
Peter
