<![CDATA[Custom Extension to Voice Mail in Manager]]>I am adding a custom entry to the "Extension to Voice Mail" field in FOP2 manager to activate transfer to mailbox for this extension. The extension (custom extension) does not have a voice mail account on its own, but I want to transfer to a custom number going out on a trunk.
The transfer to mailbox icon in FOP2 still remains greyed out however.

If you want your own changes to 'stick' then you will need to comment the line I mentioned in my previous post. It is like so, most users will complain if information is not synced, some other users like yourself want them not to be. The good news is that you can tweak the code as I said, it is not a complicated change to perform.

I want to change it to something else, but when I do, it is of no effect.

You will see this line somewhere in the code:

if(isset($fop2_buttons[$chan]['extenvoicemail']) && isset($dat['extenvoicemail'])) {

You should comment out the whole if block if you do not want the extenvoicemail field from being synced on a reload.
