Topic: Elements with themselves as base
Nick George (Jan 04 2019 at 19:16):
Hello, why do elements in R4 that are new in resources (i.e., not inherited) list themselves as base?
Nick George (Jan 04 2019 at 19:16):
e.g., the ElementDefinition Patient.identifier has base.path = Patient.identifier
Nick George (Jan 04 2019 at 19:18):
this is new in R4 - previously you'd only list a base if there was one
Nick George (Jan 04 2019 at 19:20):
it makes it a bit tougher to handler, because in the case of a constraint, it's totally reasonable to have an element with id Patient.identifier have a base.path of Patient.identifier, but in a specialization, this is recursive. And just looking at an element definition, I'm not sure if you can tell them apart
