Topic: RequestGroup instantiatesCanonical

Is it an error in the R4 spec for the RequestGroup resource's instantiatesCanonical property of type Canonical to not have a list of resource types it can reference?
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 13 2020 at 04:35):
Not an error - it means it's unrestricted. In practice, it could and probably should enumerate the options given that there aren't many. Feel free to submit a change request.

Interestingly this property is the only property with has a SearchParameter resource that states a reference search parameter type that has no list of target resources across all of the R4 SearchParamter resources in the downloadable definitions.json.zip.
So if empty implies all resource types then this is the only references, including canonical references, in the whole spec that references all, or, the more likely scenario is that it is missing the types it should be referencing. I suspect they are these resources: "PlanDefinition", "OperationDefinition", "ActivityDefinition" but I am not certain.
Lloyd McKenzie (Mar 13 2020 at 08:46):
Hmm, that bit does sound like an error. You're correct about PlanDefinition and ActivityDefinition. Not sure OperationDefinition is appropriate. Can you submit a change request?
