Force Collection at Scan Rate OPC Collector

We want to request a feature where we can force a sample interval for the OPC Collector. The data should be collected at the sample interval time defined and "NOT on change". A check box can be added before Normalize Times as "Force Sample Interval". This will enable OPC Collector to go and collect data points even if the TVQ has not changed/updated. Our Historian is used as a warranty database which requires us to save 10s data even if the values don't change. The next part of the feature request is to "Force Publish" data from MQTT Publisher similar to OPC Collector. This will ensure collection and publishing can be done on defined time intervals.
