Topic: Using _summary and _elements together
Michael Calderero (Apr 03 2020 at 12:39):
Hi All,
Can we use _summary and _elements together e.g. [baseurl]/Patient?_summary=true&_elements=identifier?
I tried this with various public FHIR servers and got the following results:
- HAPI FHIR - complains that these can't be used together
- Vonk - works and shows only id, meta and identifier
- test.fhir.org - works and shows only id and identifier
- Aegis WildFHIR - doesn't give an error but seems to return everything about the resource
Is this supposed to work? If yes then which one is honored, _summary or _elements?

_elements will override _summary -- thus you will only get the elements you ask for (Or that is what I think would happen)

@John Moehrke 's explanation is what would be reasonable to happen, but I don't believe this is explicitly declared anywhere - so it's possible some servers may behave differently.

Our server returns an error
