Can an open-choice item have an initial.valueString (to support an off-list initial value)?
Brian Postlethwaite (Aug 12 2019 at 21:57):
I would expect so.

Feel free to submit a change request if you think this needs clarification in the spec.
Ye Wang (Aug 15 2019 at 18:43):
How about initial.valueCoding? Can a code not in the option list be allowed?
Lloyd McKenzie (Aug 19 2019 at 17:35):
Most tools would likely choke on that, though we haven't explicitly prohibited it. Certainly the resulting QuestionnaireResponse would be invalid as soon as the default was applied. Feel free to submit a change request to have us add language prohibiting the initial values from falling outside the enumerated options.

That would be a good custom validation rule for a server
