Topic: Publisher generating an error when slicing element
Abdullah Rafiqi (Feb 19 2021 at 20:54):
Trying to slice identifier within the the qi-core profile spreadsheet (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/STU4/StructureDefinition-qicore-organization.html) to align with (http://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/davinci-deqm/StructureDefinition-organization-deqm.html) and duplicate EIN/CCN.
I am getting the following error when running the publisher:
A screenshot of the profile spreadsheet is where '$this' is the slice discriminator (similar to us-core-organization) and fixed value of system uri is expressed in XMl.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have never used the spreadsheets before, but that error is indicating that you're trying to slice using discriminator type value, but the parent profile uses discriminator type pattern. I see that there are Value and Pattern columns in the spreadsheet. Might it work if you move <Identifier> from the Value column to the Pattern column?
Abdullah Rafiqi (Feb 19 2021 at 22:25):
Yup, I've moved <Identifier> into the Pattern column and then into both Valueand Pattern and it still generates the same error. I noticed that on the parent profile as well and was wondering if there is a way within the spreadsheet to indicate discriminator type pattern instead of value?

Oh well. It was worth a shot. ;-)

Thanks @Chris Moesel Wonder if @Lloyd McKenzie might have any suggestions.

To indicate pattern, put a ".@pattern" on the end of your discriminator. I have no idea why it's doing that as the default. There's no way to assert 'value' because it's supposed to be the default...

Even us hardcore spreadsheeters have moved on from them ...I’d suggest ditching the spreadsheets and using fsh or some other tool to manage your profiles. The steep learning curve is worth it.

Thanks @Lloyd McKenzie . That fixed the issue and def agree on weaving off the spreadsheet
