Topic: Adding an extension to a Canonical
Kristine S. Beckmann (Jan 19 2022 at 10:03):
Hello all,
I'm specifically wanting to add an extension to the questionnaire element in the QuestionnaireResponse resource. It is not possible to simply call the extension as I can with a domain resource. That is, I would want to do something like :
questionnaire_response = QuestionnaireResponse()
questionnaire_response.questionnaire.extension = [
{
"url": "http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/display",
"valueString": "KOLS skjema"
}
]
But this is not possible as questionnaire (a Canonical) does not accept extension.
I'm using the fhirclient library.
Does anyone have some tips?
Best,
Kristine

It's currently not possible to add extensions to primitive elements with the fhirclient library. You may want to check out the fhir.resources library which supports extensions on primitive types.

Okay, thanks for the tip!
