Topic: Creating a Coding in FHIRPath?

I have an expression I want to write that has the following behavior iif(somecondition, return new Coding(system, value), return other Coding(system, value))

The issue I'm running into is I don't see a native way within FHIRPath to create Codings. You can extract a Coding from an object but I need to dynamically create one. We noticed that CQL does support this but I need this natively supported in FP.

FHIRPath is generally about navigation, not creating. You might raise this on #fhirpath

Yea I can move the thread there. I agree it is generally about navigation but FP still has support for creating values on the fly with literals (which is in essence what I want here).
