Topic: FhirPatch bundle txn reference fields not updating
Nath (Jul 16 2020 at 21:20):
Hello Implementers,
I am trying to do a Patch using bundle txn. I tried the R5 open server the following examples:
http://hapi.fhir.org/transaction
POST http://hapi.fhir.org/baseR5/?_pretty=true
{
"resourceType": "Bundle",
"type": "transaction",
"entry": [ {
"fullUrl": "Patient/1107",
"resource": {
"resourceType": "Parameters",
"parameter": [ {
"name": "operation",
"part": [ {
"name": "type",
"valueCode": "add"
}, {
"name": "path",
"valueString": "Patient.generalPractitioner"
}, {
"name": "value",
"valueReference": "Practitioner/852"
} ]
} ]
},
"request": {
"method": "PATCH",
"url": "Patient/1107"
}
} ]
}
Response
200
{
"resourceType": "Bundle",
"id": "bf4c8b6f-e088-49ad-9095-2ad90b3521c3",
"type": "transaction-response",
"link": [ {
"relation": "self",
"url": "http://hapi.fhir.org/baseR5"
} ]
}
Read back the resource after the bundle txn
GET http://hapi.fhir.org/baseR5/Patient/1107?_pretty=true
{
"resourceType": "Patient",
"id": "1107",
"meta": {
"versionId": "3",
"lastUpdated": "2020-07-16T20:57:32.852+00:00",
"source": "#j3HeV1z5srG8zNp5"
},
"text": {
"status": "generated",
"div": "<div xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\"><div class=\"hapiHeaderText\">John58074 <b>DOE2DA9065 </b></div><table class=\"hapiPropertyTable\"><tbody><tr><td>Date of birth</td><td><span>01 January 1950</span></td></tr></tbody></table></div>"
},
"name": [ {
"family": "Doe2da9065",
"given": [ "John58074" ]
} ],
"gender": "male",
"birthDate": "1950-01-01"
}
It has not updated the generalPractitioner. I tried just updating the birthDate field and that one worked. Can someone help me how to fix this issue?.
Btw, I was trying to use JsonPatch approach with binary but that does not update the references created within the bundle.
thanks for your help
