Topic: Device.distinctIdentifier

In US Core 3.1.1, Device.distinctIdentifier is marked as MS and mentioned in the narrative "Each Device must support:". In US Core 3.2.0/4.0.0 (and later versions), Device.distinctIdentifier is NOT marked as MS but still mentioned in the narrative "Each Device must support:". I searched JIRA but could not find ticket related to this change. What is the reason for that mustSupport change? @Eric Haas

Funny, @diego kaminker asked me a similar question while I was out last week....Here is the related tracker where we made a bunch of Device changes. My quick read is it was an oversight, but @Eric Haas made these specific changes so would be good for him to confirm.

@Brett Marquard I read that table. My confusion is that that table mentioned 7 identifier elements and six of them are MS. Only the Device.distinctIdentifier is not MS. image.png

Reviewing Change logs and git history it looks like an error on my part,
un MS the wrong element! Created technical correction tracker. FHIR-36303.
Thanks for catching that!

Thanks @Eric Haas I would suggest adding 4.0-patch label to this ticket. BTW, I am still not quit sure about the process for adding the "patch" label, like who proposes the label at what meeting, who need to be involved in the discussion, and who makes the final decision.
