Topic: Data Type choices
Richard Kavanagh (Apr 01 2016 at 17:28):
With a StructureDefinition when using ElementDefinition as far as I can see it is currently legal to give an element a choice of data type which may not make sense, e.g.
- Structural data type (Element or BackboneElement) and another say string. Is it the intention that these data types can be mixed?
- A choice of "Element" or "BackboneElement" - should this be allowed?
Grahame Grieve (Apr 02 2016 at 04:45):
neither should be allowed. you're correct that we don't have any invariants to preven that. but it would be illegal
Lloyd McKenzie (Apr 02 2016 at 05:20):
Richard, can you submit a change request to add an invariant?

Done #9785
