Hi All,
Let's say I have an Observation like the one below:
Observation id: xyz
I then run a FHIRPath expression against it
issued is instant
From my understanding of http://hl7.org/fhirpath/2018Sep/index.html#is-type-specifier, since issued is empty, then this whole expression will evaluate to an empty collection.
Is my understanding correct?
The reason I ask is when I try this with the HAPI FHIRPath engine, it results in false

I read https://github.com/HL7/FHIRPath/blob/master/spec/index.adoc#631-is-type-specifier and it still seems to me the above expression should evaluate to empty not false

definitely a bug in my code
Grahame Grieve (Jan 11 2020 at 11:33):
will be fixed...

which also tells you that we don't have a test case for that,,,

Hello @Grahame Grieve. Thanks for the confirmation. Do you want me to file a ticket for this?
Don't know if we're still using GForge, or all tickets should be filed via JIRA going forward?

All FHIR tickets should now go to Jira. The gForge FHIR ticketing mechanism has been disabled

this sounds like a HAPI FHIR core issue, not a spec issue. So that would mean a github issue here:

I filed https://github.com/hapifhir/org.hl7.fhir.core/issues/122 for this one
