Hi team,

I'm a Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) user, and I'd like to submit a feature request regarding scheduled calculations in Charts that write results to a time series tag.

Current behavior (as I understand it) When you set up a scheduled calculation in Charts to store results as a time series, the calculation only runs from the point the schedule is configured onward. It does not compute results for any period before the setup time. I confirmed this behavior in the following Hub post: 🔗 Cognite Hub

What I'd like to see I'd love an option to backfill / calculate historical data retroactively, so that the scheduled calculation can also produce results for the period before the calculation was created.

Why this matters With this capability, we would be able to go back and review historical data as well, not just data going forward. This would be very valuable for our long-term monitoring and trend analysis, where being able to look back over past periods is essential.

Thank you very much for your continued development work — this improvement would be a great help.
