_normalize_inlined in yamlutils.py instantiates slot_type using positional arguments in three places. This assumes the key/identifier field is the first parameter of init. With dataclass inheritance, parent fields come before child fields in the MRO, so a key field declared on a subclass is not the first parameter. The positional call assigns the value to the wrong field, leading to silent data corruption or ValueError.
Found in nfdi-de/dcat-ap-plus#64 after upgrading to linkml 1.10.0, which started generating _normalize_inlined_as_list for the other_identifier slot with key_name="notation". The Identifier class has is_a: SupportiveEntity (contributing title, description), making notation the third init parameter.
Update: The tests added in the linked PR include small example schemas that should help to understand when the issue is observed.
