Hi all
how can i define in a map a rule to create an actual date value to set on a valueDateTime?
dateOp is not documented and not implemented.
is there something like today() or now()?

you can use a fhirpath expression and then you have now(), timeOfDay() and today() ... https://hl7.org/fhirpath/#current-date-and-time-functions

@Oliver Egger is there an example? i need something like
"it -> observ.issued = create('dateTime') as dt, dt = today() "issued";"

@Roeland Luykx fhirpath expressions need to be wrapped in (), can you try the following:

it -> observ.issued = (today()) "issued";
