Also the representation of type slices in the snapshot has changed, as renamed choice type element constraint are now always normalized to standard slicing syntax in the snapshot.

Hello Michel,
With new slicing changes, is it possible to define two slices over the same type if we change the slicing criteria to a code? Is this behavior reserved only for 0..* components?
Michel Rutten (Sep 15 2019 at 00:21):
Hi @Diego Bosca, certainly, just make sure that the discriminator uniquely identifies each slice. If you can assign a unique code to each slice, then you're good to go.
