Topic: SUBSETTED tags and create/update
RB Johnson (Mar 22 2021 at 16:03):
Per the definition of _summary and _elements the SUBSETTED tag is used to indicate that a resource shouldn't be used to overwrite a complete resource.
Servers SHOULD mark the resources with the tag SUBSETTED to ensure that the incomplete resource is not accidentally used to overwrite a complete resource.
Does this mean servers should prevent a resource from being created/updated if the new version has the SUBSETTED tag?
If this is allowed it would also create issues with the _summary and _elements parameters as the user would be unable to tell if the resource has had more parts removed.

yes, that is the implied guidance.
