Concatenate a variable and a string without a script

Questions
#1

I can’t see a way of constructing a label text value from a variable and string info. Eg on a tile I have a lable which may contain one variable or a another variable plus a string.

The decision on which of the two is based on a dataction. What I really want the label text to be is @Device.shortStatus + "bit of text "+ @Device.level

I can’;t find any way of concatenating things without something like a virtual device as an intermediate variable store and a script. Am I missing something obvious?

SOLVED I think. I have come across multibindings in the thermostat tile which will will do what I want.
They do seem a little convoluted but have the ability to insert device attributes into a string.
