Topic: questionnaire item "choice" with a single value?
Jay Moore (Aug 21 2018 at 17:34):
If I have a Questionnaire item of type 'choice', is there a way to specify whether a single or multiple values are required?
Eric Haas (Aug 21 2018 at 17:54):
use Questionnaire.item.repeats
Jay Moore (Aug 21 2018 at 18:04):
use
Questionnaire.item.repeats
Thanks, I suspected that was what 'repeats' was for. (Unfortunately, I now have to add repeats: true to all the questions that accept multiple values.)

why is that unfortunate?
Eric Haas (Aug 21 2018 at 21:31):
or add to all the questions ...

Only because we weren't using the 'repeated' field at all - and so now I need to add it to all the questions where we do allow multiple responses. Not a flaw in FHIR (except "repeated" is more confusing than something like "allowsMultiple"), just a flaw in our implementation.
