Source timestamp when subscribing to Exposed Tags

Continuing the discussion from How to set the Timestamp Source to Value on a tag:

Hello Colby,

I´m using the 8.1.18 version.
Transmiting Data trougth OPC UA to 3rd. parties, I´m having issues with the SourceTimestamp and the ServerTimestamp.

With a simple get_data_value query, I´m getting the correspondent SourceTimestamp and the ServerTimestamp. no issues.

But when suscribing to the same tag, SourceTimeStamp = ServerTimeStamp

Is there any configuration that I can perform in the gateway for ignition to send also the correct SourceTimestamp when suscribing?

Best Regards

Carlos Valencia

I think this would need to be a change made to the Exposed Tags functionality. Right now it looks like Source and Server timestamps will always be the same when subscribing.

I’ve created an issue in our internal tracker to fix this.
