Topic: Array of values for Parameters resource

I was wondering how you can send an array of value[x] or an array of resources for an operation through Parameters resource. We thought about making an extension for array of value[x] and an extension for array of resources.

What happens if the order of the elements from the array is important?

Order of repeating elements in FHIR is expected to be retained. Parameters are no different

If you really want to explicitly indicate the order/sequence in parameter, you can use Parameter.part. Each parameter has two parts. First is the sequence number and second is the actual parameter.

You could, but doing so would be unnecessary unless there was a need to support differentiating between parts where order is significant and others where order is not.
