Topic: Careplan activity.reference example?

Is there a Careplan example which demonstrates the use of Careplan.activity.reference?
I'm trying to validate a FHIR careplan example where Careplan.activity.reference will reference a MedicationRequest resource. What I find weirdly circular is that there is an attribute generically called "reference" which also happens to be a Reference(). At least with outcomesReference, it's a different name. This seems to point back to itself. Regardless, when I create an example, it won't validate.
for example:
"activity": [
"reference": {
"reference": {
"MedicationRequest/16885"
},
etc...
The above gives the error: cpl-3: Provide a reference or detail, not both [detail.empty() or reference.empty()
Question: Is the syntax wrong, or is this a validator bug, or should I not be using this attribute at all?
cc: @Lloyd McKenzie since this is related to PCDE examples creation for Guidewell + HIMSS20 showcase.

That fragment doesn't look valid. Should be a { after the start of the array. Also, what's in the etc... bit matters very much. You can't have a detail element - only the reference. Can you provide your actual instance?

You might try using shorthand / sushi to generate the examples - it does do basic validation. another example here: https://fhirblog.com/2020/02/10/family-fhir-with-sushi/

@Lloyd McKenzie - Thanks! I'll give that change a try. Otherwise, I'll attach the bundle example to ask for a second review to possibly catch the error.
@David Hay - Yeh...I've been creating examples for our mCODE IG with shorthand, so I'm kinda familiar with it. Shorthand is nice for simple straightforward examples but it falls short for what I need at this time. I'm creating a complex PCDE bundle which I found is more cumbersome to represent in FHIR shorthand with PCDE's dependencies on 2 different IGs (US Core and PAS) as well as the number of entries and references in my example.
