Topic: Expectations for definition resources

Definition resources provide constrains on the resources for which they are a definition, but no explicit way to define certain other requirements (e.g., optional/recommended/required as MAY/SHOULD/SHALL). The capabilitystatement-expectation extension seems to be almost perfectly defined to address this, but will not validate (even if I try to define a profile that says it can be present).

I have logged trackers to expand this extension's context more broadly in Capabilitystatement and for SearchParameters. What other contexts does it need?

We use Must Support as way to define other definitional element how is this different?

mustSupport is for profiles. It does not appear in a Resource. So, while Measure defines conformance requirements for MeasureReport resources which reference it, it does not have a way to say: SHOULD have this part, SHALL have that part.

I lobbied for expectation-extension to be used everywhere like DAR but that was met with resistance. I think your use case makes a lot of sense.

Perhaps discuss it with the CDS folks - they're responsible for most of the definition resources

Yes, this use case makes sense, so a conformanceExpectation extension, we have run into other similar use cases, but haven't done anything with it so far. Submit a tracker?
