# combine

Any child accessibility element’s properties are merged into the new accessibility element.

## Declaration

```swift
static let combine: AccessibilityChildBehavior
```

## Discussion

Discussion Use this behavior when you want a view represented by a single accessibility element. The new accessibility element merges properties from all non-hidden children. Some properties may be transformed or ignored to achieve the ideal combined result. For example, not all of AccessibilityTraits are merged and a default action may become a named action (init(named:)). struct UserCell: View {     var user: User

var body: some View {         VStack {             Image(user.image)             Text(user.name)             Button("Options", action: showOptions)         }         .accessibilityElement(children: .combine)     } } A new accessibility element is created when: The view contains multiple or zero accessibility elements. The view wraps a UIViewRepresentable/NSViewRepresentable. note: If an accessibility element is not created, the AccessibilityChildBehavior of the existing accessibility element is modified.
