I have 2 dropdowns - date and shift. I have a custom property called start\_datetime on the root of the view. I want to bind this custom property based on the both these drop downs. The date part will come from the date dropdown and time part will come from the shift dropdown. I was not sure if you can bind to more than 1 component. I was thinking of binding to the property (date) and then in transform take the value of the 2nd property (shift) and then compute the start\_datetime. Are there any recommendations? Thank you ---

Use an Expression Structure, then build your value from as many bindings as you'd like. ---
