I've just started exploring Ignition to see how to use MQTT capabilities.  
I need to configure Ignition NOT to publish data in SparkplugB format, but I can't see how to configure this...

Anyone?

Hi,  
You can do that using the scripting function system.cirruslink.transmission.publish() from cirruslink.

Aha!  
Didn’t think of scripting. It’s worth trying.

Thanks a lot 😀👍
