Topic: 0..* type if present, can also be in the form of an object?

For DiagnosticReport Resource, "specimen" field is defined as 0..*.
However, in one of the provided examples on the HL7 website it is provided as -

"specimen": {
"reference": "Specimen/urine",
"display": "Urine Sample"
}
Shouldn't this be -
"specimen": [{
"reference": "Specimen/urine",
"display": "Urine Sample"
}]
@Lloyd McKenzie can you please help?
Thanks

Can you post the URL of the example in question?

@Lloyd McKenzie
Example url - https://www.hl7.org/fhir/diagnosticreport-example-ghp.json.html ("specimen" field in the last entry )
Resource url - https://www.hl7.org/fhir/diagnosticreport.html

Thanks!

The last entry in that example Bundle is an Observation and Observation.specimen is 0..1.

      "resource": {
        "resourceType": "Observation",
...
        "specimen": {
          "reference": "Specimen/urine",
          "display": "Urine Sample"
        }

@Jean Duteau
Thanks a lot Jean! I completely missed to check the resource type for that entry :)
