Topic: Difference between baseType and fhirType extensions?
Ivan Dubrov (Jul 03 2020 at 06:45):
I'm looking at these two extensions http://hl7.org/fhir/extension-questionnaire-fhirtype.html vs https://www.hl7.org/fhir/extension-questionnaire-basetype.html and I don't quite understand what's the difference between them. They both look very similar. What's the difference between them, why have both?

That's a really good question. @Grahame Grieve - these look like duplicates to me?
Grahame Grieve (Jul 03 2020 at 20:54):
they do look pretty similar indeed
Lloyd McKenzie (Jul 04 2020 at 03:30):
@Grahame Grieve Do you know which one is used in practice?
Grahame Grieve (Jul 05 2020 at 20:27):
I don't appear to use either. I can't speak for anyone else on this one
Lloyd McKenzie (Jul 05 2020 at 21:21):
I'm pretty sure at least one of them was created on your request for auto-generation of profiles or something a few years ago.
Grahame Grieve (Jul 05 2020 at 23:48):
that's what I thought too
