Topic: Caret paths in "deeply inserted" rulesets
Martin Höcker (Jul 02 2021 at 08:54):
Hooray for the new 2.0.0.beta2 release! I played around with the new "deep" insertion of rulesets, and I like it! But there is one thing I can't quite figure out. I would like to use caret-paths in rulesets, a little bit like so:
RuleSet: rs
* ^short = "test"
Profile: TestPatient
Parent: Patient
* name insert rs
Unfortunately, this leads to the error No element found at path name. for CaretValueRule in TestPatient, skipping rule.
The following things are additional variants of "deeply inserted" rulesets, where I also need caret paths:
Using parameterized rulesets:
RuleSet: rs(thing)
* ^short = "{thing}"
Profile: TestPatient
Parent: Patient
* name insert rs(hello)
Placing extensions into the StructureDefinition:
RuleSet: rs(thing)
* ^extension[MyExt].valueString = "{thing}"
Profile: TestPatient
Parent: Patient
* name insert rs(hello)
Both these examples lead to the same error as the first example.
As a workaround, I currently parameterize the preceding path. It "feels" wrong, but it works! Applied to the last example, it looks like this:
RuleSet: rs(path, thing)
* {path} ^extension[MyExt].valueString = "{thing}"
Profile: TestPatient
Parent: Patient
* insert rs(name, hello)
Is there a better way to use caret-paths with inserted rulesets?

@Nick Freiter -- can you take a look at this and/or advise?

@Martin Höcker, what you're trying to do is valid, that is definitely a bug. We will get that fixed as soon as possible. Sorry to make you use that workaround in the mean time, thanks for taking on the testing burden of being a beta user!

Thank you for raising the PR so quickly! I tested it and it is indeed solving my issue!
