Topic: type=quantity without questionnaire-unit

If a Questionnaire has an item of type quantity but provides neither questionnaire-unit nor questionnaire-unitOption/ValueSet, should a renderer provide a free text field for the unit?
Lloyd McKenzie (Dec 16 2021 at 20:42):
It could, and/or a select box that leverages a value set of its own choosing - most preferably UCUM
Paul Lynch (Dec 16 2021 at 20:44):
UCUM is compositional. I am not sure the typical user would know the multiplication operator.... But I suppose something could be done along those lines.
Lloyd McKenzie (Dec 16 2021 at 21:00):
Yeah. I mean, for you, if there was a LOINC code you could infer. Or just a default list of most common ones + text
Brian Postlethwaite (Dec 17 2021 at 02:09):
That's what I would do-free text unit (but don't handle this case yet)
