Topic: Slicing discriminator in differential
Gino Canessa (Mar 10 2020 at 18:26):
Currently comparing StructureDefinition.snapshot and StructureDefinition.differential in some processing, and I can't seem to find any reference to the discriminator in any differential. The elements jump from the base (e.g., Extension) directly to the slice (e.g., Extension.extension:substance) without including the slicing definition (e.g., Extension.extension with Extension.extension.slicing present).
I haven't been able to find a reference to this difference in the docs or on Zulip. Is this intentional, or something the comparison missed (e.g., it's excluded from the differential because slicing isn't checked for differences)?
Thanks!

there's a note somewhere that extensions are always sliced by URL, and that's taken for granted in the differentials.

Makes sense, thanks!
