Topic: fields missing from ValueSet docs?


view this post on Zulip Joe Flack (Feb 09 2022 at 15:25):

I'm uploading value sets to my FHIR server instance. I couldn't help but notice that a lot of the fields appear to be missing from the documentation: http://hl7.org/fhir/valueset.html

does anyone know why?

examples of missing fields:

  • text (contains nested 'div' and 'status' fields)
  • resourceType (should be set to ValueSet)
  • meta (contains 'profile' field)
  • id (alternatively can do the 'identifier' field, but I used id successfully instead)
    and i think there are some others

@Joe Flack All of these except for resourceType are documented at the top "root" level of the resource under "Elements defined in Ancestors:". Since resourceType is specific to the JSON representation it is documented here.

i feel it would be better design to show those fields on separate lines under "Resource Content" (http://hl7.org/fhir/valueset.html#resource), and add the fact that they are inherited under the "Description & Constraints" column. but maybe that's just me

I see them on the page http://hl7.org/fhir/valueset.html, when I look at the Resource Content under Structure next to ValueSet at Description & Constraints. There are the fields which are inherited.
