Hello! 

I want to merge more than 01 expression control in 01 effect and rename that effect as I want to use it with the expression, but I can't find how to merge them, when I create a new one After Effect siparet it in an individual effect. 

The attached image below will explain more what I want. 

Thanks!

I think you need to look into something like Pseudo Effects Maker: https://aescripts.com/pseudo-effect-maker/

This will allow you to arrange controls as you want them rather than in the separate sections.

I think you're saying that when you duplicate a layer, you want one set of controls to affect both layers.  The simplest way to do this is to use the Pickwhip on the second layer's effects to link to the original layer.  That way it will have identical values.

Thanks for your reply, 

this is not what I want, I want one set of controls that hold multi controls like Colors, Check-boxes, Points Controls... then I want to access those controls from expression like this example: 

 

width = effect("Size Adapter")(1)

height = effect("Size Adapter")(2);

 

but I when I create a new expression control, after effect create a new set with that created expressio control. this is my problem.
