title: Adobe DTM Data Element Updating
body: <p>I'm looking for a way to dynamically update a pre-defined data element in DTM. Once the page loads and the data elements are initialized it is not possible to update them,  _sattelite.setVar() does not work. I can create a Data Element on the fly but it won't persist from page to page.Example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var currElementName = this.getAttribute('data-analytics-tracking-name');
  _satellite.setVar('custom link name', currElementName);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any suggestions? I'm asking this because I'm going to be working with a MVC framework and I'd like to store some of the data in DTM data elements and update as views change. Thanks!</p>
