Visual Overview ComboBox getting data from two different elements at same time

Hello Dojo Community,

I'm working on a Visio file that has a ComboBox shape that retrieves data of profiles from a table of a specific element within its own DMA that we can call RDS. Here is how this is currently configured in Visio:

However, now the system was expanded and there are two DMAs within a DMS, both with their respective RDS (01 and 02).

Is there anyway for the combobox to pick the data from both elements? Or alternatives to achieve this?
I see that there is a way to achieve this kind of behavior with strings and regex replace, but because in this case it's getting the information from tables it's not the case.

Thanks for your ideas and suggestions.

Hi Luis, Your reasoning is in the right direction. The regex replace placeholder is very powerful and it will also show its strength in this use case.

I have made a simplified example with the simple goal of showing data from two elements. Placeholders are easy to understand by just displaying them in the text of a regular shape. What you actually want is transforming your data to something that complies with the expected format for the combo box. The only downside of this approach is that you cannot make use of DisplayColumn, SortColumn, or SetColumn in the SetVarOptions.

The below picture should be self-explanatory:

Hi Jarno,

I tried this and it worked perfectly, this allows me to retrieve data from multiple elements to a ComboBox.

Thank you!
