Can data triggers be used in external style

Question

I just started out with MAUI and I want to apply a style that will be used on more than 1 page with data triggers. Here is what I'm trying to accomplish:

TestPage contains a label like this:

<Label
    Text="{Binding TaskStatus}"
    VerticalOptions="Center"
    HorizontalOptions="Center"
    Grid.Row="0"
    Grid.Column="0"
    Style="{StaticResource DefaultLabelStyle}" />

And then the DefaultStyleResource file contains this:

<Style x:Key="DefaultLabelStyle"
    TargetType="Label">
    <Style.Triggers>            
        <DataTrigger
            TargetType="Label"
            Binding="{Binding TaskStatus}"
            Value="4">
            <Setter
                Property="TextColor"
                Value="{DynamicResource Blue}" />
        </DataTrigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
</Style>

Is this possible or can I only use data triggers like this in an inline manner? Thanks in advance!

Styles can be defined globally by adding them to the app's resource dictionary. You can add the Style code to App.xaml file:

<Application.Resource>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        ...
        <Style x:Key="DefaultLabelStyle"> ...
     </ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resource>

After this, you can use the style in your pages directly:

<Label
    Text="{Binding TaskStatus}"
    Style="{StaticResource DefaultLabelStyle}" 
    .../>

For more information, you can refer to the Global styles.
