Combining two data elements to create a new data element

[former_member333493]

I have two data elements (and domains) - one of type char10 and one of type char30. Can I combine these two to create a new data element (or domain) of type char40, so that in the future if one of the data elements/domains gets modified my new data element/domain will also change accordingly?

Hi,

You can create custom data element with different domain, but it will not update future untill you do it manually. Any custom object will not update.

You can only do this by using a structure. There is no concept of connected data elements otherwise. Perhaps if you shared what you're trying to achieve you might get other suggestions.
