User Story

As an OSCAL tools developer, in order to have profiles that define embedded profiles that result in a resolved catalog with all profiles resolved, I would like the reference XSLT implementation to support recursive profile resolution.

NOTE: This is a backported issue for a community contribution that had not yet been merged. This is to track the inclusion of this work for merge into the develop branch and prepare for an upcoming release.

Goals

  • Support a use case where an organization must layer customized control customizations multiple times for its systems (more than one profile)

Dependencies

No response

  • The CI-CD build process runs without any reported errors on the PR. This can be confirmed by reviewing that all checks have passed in the PR.
