AOM: how do you differentiate between sibling C_OBJECT if both are ARCHETYPE_ROOT and have the same archetype_id?

For both sections, the items are not constrained, just the names, then there is a need of identifying each individually

But name is constrained (at least that’s what I assume you meant with that short-hand!). ADL doesn’t differentiate between different attributes being constrained. Any constraint is a constraint.

@pablo

So in ADL2, if I understood correctly, the editor tool should mark the first one as SECTION.ad-hoc-1 and the second as SECTION.ad-hoc-2

Something like that. Maybe it could do SECTION.ad-hoc-ovl1 and SECTION.ad-hoc-ovl2 to make it easier to spot overlays.

@pablo

That is the border case for a whole family of test cases that show the issue at hand, and there is clearly no extra set of constraints added to neither occurrences of SECTION.ad-hoc.

See previous comment above!

Just wanted to point you to the following Jira issue which describes a similar issue and has already created some discussion as well

Thanks Sebastian - we got close to the same point before, and indeed, Heath’s suggestion in that thread is a nice solution I think.
