I tried to create CodeSystem using FSH with the following
CodeSystem: CodeSystem-MaritalStatus
This threw an error, reporting the following (note the typo - repeating 'of')
error The string "CodeSystem-MaritalStatus" does not represent a valid FHIR name. Valid names start with an upper-case ASCII letter ('A'..'Z') followed by any combination of of upper- or lower-case ASCII letters ('A'..'Z', and 'a'..'z'), numerals ('0'..'9') and '_', with a length limit of 255 characters.
I'd missed the invariant introduced in R4 (which is at level warning). So I amended the name to the following
CodeSystem: CodeSystem_MaritalStatus
This still threw an error with the following - which does not appear to be correct
error The string "CodeSystem_MaritalStatus" does not represent a valid FHIR id. FHIR ids may contain any combination of upper- or lower-case ASCII letters ('A'..'Z', and 'a'..'z'), numerals ('0'..'9'), '-' and '.', with a length limit of 64 characters.
I assume this is an error? For info, I am on SUSHI v0.12.5

Ahh - looking further it would appear that the issue is at my end... :grimacing:
I have raised an issue on GitHub for the typo

It looks like Richard figured it out, but for those who stumble on this later... if you don't explicitly state an Id:, then SUSHI will default the id to be the same as what you stated as Name:. Since id and name have slightly different rules regarding allowed characters, however, this can sometimes cause conflicts which force you to have to explicitly declare the Id: as well.

Actually - would be good if the SUSHI spec was more explicit about that...
