You're correct - variable inheritance only goes in one direction, from the parent to the child. Since the child channel is going to be Party B in the CDR, variables set on it are unlikely to show up. I can think of a few options: 1) Use the userfield on the outbound channel to store the SIPCALLID. A little known fact of the userfield is that, on two channels in a bridge together, the userfields are concatenated together using a ';' as a delimiter. 2) Use the MASTER_CHANNEL function to reach back to the parent channel and set the CDR variable there.
