Topic: query syntax for value "missing or true"
Simone Heckmann (Aug 11 2016 at 14:20):
What's the proper syntax for a query that's supposed to return all Patients that are either active=true or are missing the "active" attribute?
Simone Heckmann (Aug 11 2016 at 14:23):
and that's when I realize that this is the same as Patient?active:not=true
Simone Heckmann (Aug 11 2016 at 14:24):
But for curiousity's sake: is there a way to search for an attribute that is either missing or has value x?

I was thinking about this one a few weeks ago with respect to active flags.
My thought was that would be good for the default earch to only consider "active" style records, and not have to put the parameters on for that. And force the inclusion of the parameter to include inactive content.

For me it makes things more difficult in the administrative sections that you need to deal with what you've pointed out.

default values in search are very troublesome, for all the apparent attractions of defaulting active to true

Patient?active:not=false
Grahame Grieve (Aug 11 2016 at 23:24):
I think
