Topic: Snapshot element reptition
Gino Canessa (Feb 16 2022 at 21:43):
Hi all, came across something I did not expect and was wondering if it is valid or not. In an IG, a StructureDefinition.snapshot has the same base element repeated multiple times - e.g., the same id and path with different other contents.
Is this allowed/expected/desired? I cannot find a constraint preventing it, but I also am not sure how to process the results.

So, they repeated the element instead of creating an array?

the same id and path with different other contents
should not be. ids must be unique within a snapshot

No, two consecutive StructureDefinition.snapshot.element array items have the same id and path.

Thanks, found it: sdf-16 in StructureDefinition constraints. So I can just pass however I want to pass (likely ignore second) in my code.
As an FYI, I am running into this during package resolution from the current US Core: US Core current version is 4.1.0, which has a dependency on hl7.fhir.uv.sdc version 2.7.0.
hl7.fhir.uv.sdc#2.7.0 has StructureDefinition-sdc-questionnaireresponse.json with this error. The current version (STU2) does not have this problem. Is there a process for fixing that kind of issue that does not involve re-publication?

no

There is a newer snapshot of SDC that you can now use too.
