I am trying to setup a tag that does not change often, to save down at least once a day. I have been fighting with this for a couple days and cannot seem to configure it right apparently, because I can go back into the query browser to look at the entries on the tag and it only shows on change. Skipped several days entirely. Any suggestions? I have attached a screenshot of the configuration.

**Ignition Platform** `7.9.12`

it is value between 1 and 10. May not change to a different value but around once a week on average, but want a record at least once a day for reporting.

I see. If you change your _Timestamp Source_ to **System** your _Max time between records_ setting will be respected. Cheers!
