I have been using Forge 23.0 for R4 Fall 2019 Edition and I have used it to create the complex extension below. I am used to using previous Forge versions for FHIR STU3, so I would be really grateful, if colleagues who have developed Forge tooling would check the xml and reply to this message to indicate whether it is correctly formed. Many thanks in advance.

It is well-formed: it passes R4's fhir-all.xsd from http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/downloads.html
Ward Weistra (Jan 06 2020 at 12:14):
@Katie Wheatley Hi Katie, it also validates without issues on https://simplifier.net/validate with R4 selected. Any particular reason you were afraid it might be invalid?

No, I just wanted to make sure what I had done is correct as I am new to this version of Forge. Thanks for clarifying that.
Ward Weistra (Jan 06 2020 at 14:53):
Good to hear @Katie Wheatley. Forge and Simplifier.net use the same (.NET FHIR API) validation, so if Forge does not give any errors or warnings you should be able to trust it's a valid FHIR structure definition :thumbs_up:
