Continuing the discussion from [How to set the Timestamp Source to Value on a tag](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/how-to-set-the-timestamp-source-to-value-on-a-tag/26868): 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. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/0/b01486ad2c9111d90580bd065843a7278b3e3031.png) But when suscribing to the same tag, SourceTimeStamp = ServerTimeStamp ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/e/6ec0a276f7bc5cf89cabf3e62a044ac7f4a6d6f1.png) Is there any configuration that I can perform in the gateway for ignition to send also the correct SourceTimestamp when suscribing?

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. ---
