To my knowledge,
there is no update.
In our driver, we do it like this:
/* If not moving, trigger a record processing at low rate */
if (!nowMoving) setDoubleParam(pC_->motorPosition_, newPositionInSteps + 1);
setDoubleParam(pC_->motorPosition_, newPositionInSteps);
And I added a test case:

Out of curiosity:
Which kind of device are you using ?

Hi,
In 2015 there was some discussion on Tech-Talk about how to force a callback for a parameter that had not changed values.
Mark Rivers suggested a work-around, as shown below.
I wonder if anyone has an update on the situation since then? Has any other method appeared? Or did you have success with the work-around?
Thanks,

If a driver wants to force a callback there is a method that does not require any changes to the base classes, e.g. exposing statusChanged_ as protected or adding a new
isMotorRecordnowFilterButAlwaysProcess_ flag. The driver simply needs to set a parameter to a different value from present and then back to its current value, for example
setDoubleParam(pC_->motorPosition_(position+1.);
setDoubleParam(pC_->motorPosition_(position);
callParamCallbacks();
