Topic: Slicing using a relative data element

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how exactly to use slicing to fix the following problem:
Having a custom profile on Location resource, I want to assign a different value set to Location.type based on Location.phsycialType. Such that if:
1. Location.physicalType = bd then Location.type is using ValueSet1
2. Location.physicalType = wa then Location.type is using ValueSet2
I went through the examples but couldn't figure out whether that's possible and allowed. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

there's no way to do this with slicing. The only way to do it is in an invariant using FHIRPath

I'd bind it to a value set that imports both value sets and then write and invariant like this :
(physicalType = 'bd') implies (type in '[valueSetUr]')

Slicing lets you set different rules for different repetitions - but there's nothing repeating here.
