Topic: internal ID
David Hay (Jul 04 2019 at 23:34):
All elements (eg datatypes) have an internal id whose purpose is "to build implementation functionality that makes use of internal references inside the resource."
Is it legitimate usage to use id that to identify a particular element in a repeating field? For example, to create an operation to delete a specific address within a list of patient addresses using the id of the specific address?

you doing a patch?
David Hay (Jul 05 2019 at 00:39):
No, an operation that directly updates the address...
Grahame Grieve (Jul 05 2019 at 00:42):
why not Patch? But your operation could work that way.... if there's already an id for it to reference
David Hay (Jul 05 2019 at 00:53):
Wanted fine grained control over which user roles could update which parts of the resource (it's an API in front of an existing patient registry) and having operations that correspond to these roles and the parts they could update was thought easier for implementers...
