Topic: Category cardinality is 0..1 for DR, can this be 0..*

This is somewhat of a minor item and is recorded in gforge at #20538
The category element in DR currently has a cardinality of 0..1 and the code/value generally entered for this element is Laboratory Test. Can the cardinality be expanded to 0..* so that we can also enter GE for this element?
FYI, the cardinality of the category field in the observeration resources e.g. Genomics Panel is 0..*

I am not sure why we would constrain our DR profile.category to 0..1 when the base has 0..? Seems like, to match how we handle our Observation profiles.category, we should make it 1.. ? Meaning, put in the one code we require, but you can put in others if you like. @Lloyd McKenzie ?

Actually, @Lloyd McKenzie already commented on the gForge @Mullai Murugan logged:
No reason for the genomics profiles to impose this constraint. (Suspect it stems from a time when the base resource also used to be 0..1)
Mullai Murugan (Mar 15 2019 at 19:15):
Thanks for the immediate feedback. @Larry Babb and I will create our specs on the assumption that will be changed to 0..* in the future.
Kevin Power (Mar 15 2019 at 19:16):
I think maybe 1..* makes more sense - to show you must send the code as indicated in the IG, but you are free to send others.
Mullai Murugan (Mar 15 2019 at 20:47):
@Kevin Power sounds good. Included in IG is Laboratory Test, we will additionally include GE.
