Topic: Id required for a contained "Provenance"
Constantin Corman (Jun 25 2021 at 14:38):
While trying to create an AllergyIntolerance with a contained "Provenance" resource, we found out (using FHIR validators) that an "id" is required. In this page (http://hl7.org/fhir/r4/references.html#contained) it is mentioned that "no id necessary (though still allowed)" for the exact case that we need: a resource that references the container.
The validators used are the ones present at http://clinfhir.com/validateResource.html and a local version of HAPI FHIR validator, configured using https://confluence.hl7.org/display/FHIR/Using+the+FHIR+Validator
Could someone, please, confirm if there is an issue with the validators? Maybe those validators don't consider this case: a resource that references the container?
Thanks in advance!

Is it the same issue as this:

The only place that say's "(though still allowed)" is in an example, generally we don't code to examples we code to conformance statements.
I see nothing conformance-wise that says one way or the other (quick scan). Since the id value has no meaning outside of the resource it's in and the container... whether the validator is right or wrong, I'd put in a dummy value to make the validator happy and move on.

I think it's a bit different. The error thrown in my case is related specifically to the missing Id " Resource has contained child resource with no ID"

The specification is unclear here. See FHIR-33008
