Hi, we have a use case to "return all DiagnosticReport where DiagnosticReport.subject in myPatientList". We were thinking of using https://fhirbase/DiagnosticReport?_list=myPatientlist, but through testing against a few FHIR test servers, it appears that the _list parameter has to be the list of the same resource that is being searched, which would be DiagnosticReport in our case. Is this understanding correct? If so in order to support our use case, do we have to create a custom operation? Is there any other options?

Yes, your understanding is correct. See https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179166-implementers/topic/Search.20modifier.20for.20references.3A.20member-of-group.3F for discussions of alternatives

@Cindy Jiang
indeed, I suspect such method does things well:
DiagnosticReport?subject:Group/myPatientGroup
Or who knows:
DiagnosticReport?subject:List/myPatientList
also @Michele Mottini thought ?

@Michele Mottini & @natus thank you both! We did some testing but neither chained parameters or reverse chaining worked. I posted additional question on https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179166-implementers/topic/Search.20modifier.20for.20references.3A.20member-of-group.3F

(To follow up: we woud up defining :in as a modifier for R5, which willallow for queries like DiagnosticReport?subject:in=Group/myPatientGroup.
