Problem:

Data received in Ignition from various sources includes a timestamp indicating when the data was generated (e.g. parsing CSV or OPC-UA). However, this timestamp cannot currently be exposed via the OPC UA server with the correct OPC UA Source Timestamp if the tag is referenced or or processed.

There is presently no mechanism to preserve or set the OPC UA Source Timestamp for tags through scripts or bindings. This capability is required, at minimum, for tags that are exposed via the OPC UA server to third-party systems.
