Hello has anyone experienced a problem usnig the “BackGround” app with a context?
If I try to specify a context to background, it seems to grab the first digit I hit and try to use that as an extension, rather than reading all the digits I hit.
If I use background without a context specified… it works.
below is an example extensions.conf plan that I created that shows it
breaking along with the asterisk CLI output. (I dial a “500” and
it only grabs the “5”, as such there is no extension for “5”
— extensions.conf
TRUNK=Zap/4
BRIANP=SIP/1004
BRIANP2=SIP/1005
BRIAN=SIP/brian
CHRIS=SIP/chris
BRAD=SIP/brad
STEVEN=SIP/steven

exten => s,1,Answer()
exten => s,n,Wait(1)
exten => s,n,Background(ct.com/enter-ext,|||Internal)
[Internal]
exten => 1000,1,Dial(${BRIANP})
exten => 500,1,VoiceMailMain()
— CLI output while I try to dial in and it 500 (for voicemail)
—, note it only grabs the “5”

If noted if I put the extensions directly in the same context and remove the context specified to background… it works fine…
for example this extensions.conf works fine
