Stream: shorthand
Topic: FSH Syntax question
Richard Kavanagh (Feb 20 2020 at 21:59):
I have recently discovered FSH it looks like a great project.
A few questions:
I used the following in an instance:
- extension[FishSpecies].valueCodeableConcept = SCT#47978005 "Carpiodes cyprinus (organism)"
The display is not generated (reported already), but I then added the line again so it was duplicated.
I was assuming that I would either get two instances of the extension or two codings in my CodeableConcept. I got neither the second instance overwrote the first.
So how would I create an instance with two instances of the same extension and also how do I put multiple codings in one CodeableConcept.

repeatable elements would be in an array-like syntax, if I understand the question.

just add a [0] and a [1]
Richard Kavanagh (Feb 20 2020 at 22:32):
Ah, so to add multiple Codings you have to change the shorthand to
- extension[FishSpecies].valueCodeableConcept.coding[0] = SCT#47978005 "Carpiodes cyprinus (organism)"
- extension[FishSpecies].valueCodeableConcept.coding[1] = SCT#47978006 "Carpiodes cyprinus (organism)"
Not sure that it works for multiple extensions though
I tried (and failed) with the following
- extension[0][FishSpecies].....
- extension[FishSpecies][0].....

In theory, extension[FishSpecies][0].valueCodeableConcept = SCT#47978005 "Carpiodes cyprinus (organism)" should work (if that extension is defined in the profile as 0..*). If it's not working, that may be a bug.

I'm new to FHIR FSH... and still getting to grips with the syntax.. could someone be so kind and advise how to define a valueRange? ... many thanks
