Topic: Base element of inherited profile

Hi all,
@Melina Chamayou and I are trying to write StructureDefinitions for profiles based on existing profiles.
Let's consider the attribute "category" of the Observation resource. Its cardinality is (0,*).
A first profile, we call it profile 1, adds a constraint on this attribute : cardinality (1,*).
A second profile, based on profile 1, adds another constraint to the same attribute : cardinality (1,1). We call it profile 2.
Profile 2 is inherited from profile 1, which itself is inherited from the Observation resource.
Our question is the following. We consider the element "category" of the snapshot of profile 2. Should its base.min be equal to 0 or 1 ? In other words, should the base of an inherited profile be the original resource, or the profile it is based on ?
I hope my question is as clear as possible, please don't hesitate to ask if it is not.
Thanks a lot for the feedback,
Elsie

In profile 2 you do not need to specify a min in the differential, the snapshot will inherit the min from profile 1.

Thanks for your answer @Richard Townley-O'Neill !
