Element.id
"Definition: unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references)."
Grahame Grieve (May 10 2016 at 12:53):
y?
Eric Haas (May 11 2016 at 13:29):
so that means its not a business identifier for that element right

element.id is defined "unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references)."
Grahame Grieve (May 11 2016 at 15:48):
yep

Element.id has type string in STU3 (http://hl7.org/fhir/STU3/element-definitions.html#Element.id) but had type id in DSTU2 (http://hl7.org/fhir/DSTU2/element-definitions.html#Element.id) - is this as it should? Or an oversight (id seems the correct type)?
Brian Postlethwaite (Nov 21 2017 at 22:21):
the id datatype is restricted to 64 chars, and we wanted to use longer values here.
Michele Mottini (Nov 21 2017 at 22:27):
Ah I see
Michele Mottini (Nov 21 2017 at 22:29):
(that's have the unfortunate side-effect that even Eleement - and so every single data type that derives from it - changed from DSTU2 to STU3)
Brian Postlethwaite (Nov 21 2017 at 22:49):
Yes, thought from a practicality/instance point of view, id is really a restriction on string, so no data really changed.
