Topic: GET just an identifier Element

Is there a way to ask to return just a single element in a resource GET? (like just return the identifier element?)
Eric Haas (Aug 20 2018 at 17:01):
See http://build.fhir.org/graphql.html

@David Hay I recall a recent discussion that pointed out that when using _elements, you still need to return a valid resource, which means that all mandatory elements must be returned. Unless there are no elements with min cardinality of 1, you'll get more than just the identifier back.

That's correct, but its much less than what it was ;)
