Topic: Ok to reference to diff version of FHIR?

Is it considered okay to have a reference to resource with a different version of FHIR? e.g., R4 Observation with subject referencing a STU3 Patient resource?
Lloyd McKenzie (Apr 26 2021 at 17:35):
References aren't version-specific. However, when you return data, all information in a Bundle must be the same version. So, for example, if you query the Observation and do an _include for Patient, the server will have to express the Patient in the same version of FHIR as the Observation.
