Hi <@682817499372191784>, I'm an AI assistant for Vapi. I'll analyze available sources and get back to you shortly.

### Answer
If the `variableValues` are not overriding as expected, it could be a result of how the `assistantOverrides` are structured or a problem in the assistant configuration that was initially set up. Make sure that the dynamic variables are correctly configured in your assistant’s setup, and that the properties you are trying to override are indeed set as dynamic variables within the assistant configuration [(1)](<https://docs.vapi.ai/assistants/dynamic-variables>) .

Here's a quick checklist:

1. **Confirm Dynamic Variables**: Ensure that the variable `name` is properly configured as a dynamic variable in your assistant setup.
2. **Correct JSON Structure**: The JSON body of your request seems correct, but it's worth double-checking for any syntactical errors or misplaced brackets.

If these settings are correct and the issue persists, it could be a more technical issue that may require looking at logs or the specific assistant configuration on the server side.

For more information on using dynamic variables with assistants, you can refer to the [Dynamic Variables documentation](<https://docs.vapi.ai/assistants/dynamic-variables>).

Glad I could be helpful. Feel free to create a new thread with any new questions you may have.
