Topic: Logical ID String
Bapi Behera (Nov 17 2020 at 16:26):
We have a question about Logical ID. Can we use ~ (tilde ) in a logical ID?
Per Reference: https://www.hl7.org/fhir/resource.html#id
Logical ids (and therefore locations) are case sensitive. Logical Ids are always opaque, and external systems need not and should not attempt to determine their internal structure. A logical id SHALL always be represented in the same way in resource references and URLs. Ids can be up to 64 characters long, and contain any combination of upper and lowercase ASCII letters, numerals, "-" and ".".
Both the characters ("-" and ".")are in our data, We are looking for another special character to use. Please suggest

no, the 'id' data type has a regexp of [A-Za-z0-9\-\.]{1,64}, see https://www.hl7.org/fhir/datatypes.html#id
