Topic: Validation issues with Bundle.type = document (STU3)

Good morning,
We found an issue when validating a bundle message, with type=document. (we tried 2 validators: Public HAPI STU3 Server and Grahames STU3 server)
All the references inside the Composition resource (1st entry) are not validated(we have several references to Practitioner Resources, and those resources do not have any entry).
We expected the Validator to return error, because there weren't any resources referenced.
But instead we've got just warnings about other stuff.
Is this a bug or are we doing something wrong?
Thanks in Advance,
Rui

can you provide an example I can add to the validator tests?
Rui Leite (Oct 04 2019 at 16:25):
Sure, @Grahame Grieve
Some notes: We had to add the resource Patient for the Composition.subject to pass through the validator.
On a side note:
We have some doubts on the FHIR specification about the Composition Resource and the Composition.section.emptyReason:
+ A section must at least one of text, entries, or sub-sections
+ A section can only have an emptyReason if it is empty
The definition of "empty" can be vague because:
Definition: If the section is empty, why the list is empty. An empty section typically has some text explaining the empty reason.
The Composition.section can't have entries(?):
Composition.section.entry: If there are no entries in the list, an emptyReason SHOULD be provided.
A section with emptyReason has no sub-sections(?).
So a Composition.section.text SHALL exist?
Thanks.
Here's the message:
Bundle.document.json

ok fixed next release - 68 errors from that bundle now.
Grahame Grieve (Oct 25 2019 at 02:24):
"A section can only have an emptyReason if it is empty" - that is, if there is no entries. I'm not sure about sub-sections. As you say, typically there will be a narative explaining the empty reason. You could create a task to clarify this

Just came up in the german stream: cmp-1 on composition is: text.exists() or entry.exists() or section.exists() which doesn't work if it is empty with an empty reason. So cmp-1 should be: text.exists() or entry.exists() or section.exists() or emptyReason.exists()
Patrick Werner (Aug 18 2020 at 09:38):
right?
Grahame Grieve (Aug 18 2020 at 11:23):
I agree
