Can you use ToolBox's Expressions as a reusable element?

Need help
1

I’m using an Expression element from the toolbox plugin to display the result of an equation on a text element, but I’d like to use this equation across my app without just copying and pasting the expression because it builds up technical debt if I ever wanted to change the expression. I’ve also heard a general rule not to store anything in your database that can be calculated from other items in your database to keep things organized and avoid redundancy.

I tried creating a reusable element that just held the expression element but I had a difficult time accessing the result of the expression. Has anyone dealt with something similar to this?

Thanks in advance!

Try the return data feature associated with custom triggers and the properties feature on reusable elements
