Data elements itself stands for the semantic description of data, so there is no point in giving different description.

Dear,

Even you can change the standard data element description without a access key?? then how we can have multiple description??

for Z data elements as well they are unique description, if u change the one , than it will have the new description only.

However you can use same data element to define a number of fields and you can change the appearance for user in ALV, Screens etc.

reward if useful.
