Topic: Exact Element path in Operation Outcome
Nick George (Feb 11 2022 at 19:48):
Hello, the OperationOutcome provides OperationOutcome.expression for a fhirpath expression to the node that failed, and a single diagnostic for additional detail. My issue is that when we encounter I would like to store both fhirpath (e.g., Patient.contact.telecom) and exact location (e.g.,
Patient.contact[1].telecom[1]) Is there a good way to do this?

Indices are allowed in FHIRPath (doc). Are they not allowed in "Simple" FHIRPath"? I feel like it's not clear because "Simple" FHIRPath forbids operators, but I don't usually think of the indexer as an operator (although it looks like FHIRPath spec does call it an operator).
Nick George (Feb 11 2022 at 21:07):
my read was that it didn't count as simple fhirpath... (it didn't fall under any of the "allowed" categories anyway). It's still a bit tough if I want to record both (although obvious a string manipulation function can strip indices)

oh. indicies are definitely allowed in restricted fhirpath, and we should be explicit about that
Grahame Grieve (Feb 11 2022 at 21:17):
a task to clarify would be good
