Topic: FHIR PATCH interaction

Hey,
I have a question regarding the FHIR PATCH interaction. For choice data types should we suffix the name part with the data type like shown in the resource example? See the part with name="timeDateTime". My guess is that it should actually be just name="time" since the data type would be revealed by the value attribute.
Could anyone shed som light on this? The FHIR PATCH documentation seems to lack information about choice data types (https://www.hl7.org/fhir/fhirpatch.html)
{
"resourceType": "Parameters",
"parameter": [{
"name": "operation",
"part": [{
"name": "type",
"valueCode": "add"
}, {
"name": "path",
"valueString": "Specimen"
}, {
"name": "name",
"valueString": "processing"
}, {
"name": "value",
"part": [{
"name": "description",
"valueString": "testProcessing"
}, {
"name": "timeDateTime",
"valueDateTime": "2021-08-18T11:32:55.6462761+02:00"
}
]
}
]
}
]
}

Yes, you'd want time and not timeDateTime. Consistent with https://www.hl7.org/fhir/fhirpath.html#polymorphism

Thanks for the fast reply, Lee :+1:

Added a change request to clarify how to reference choice values in a FhirPatch: https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-33232
