Hi, I forget, can $dlg_var(...) variables nowadays be reconstituted, along with dialog state in general, using database backing? What about profile membership? Last time I brushed with this topic was probably in 4.x days, and as I remember the general idea was that dialog state could be recovered on restart, but without dialog variables or profile counts. Is this accurate? Is it still true? Or has the amount of state serialised into database persistence increased since then?
