Topic: Using aliases for Identifier systems?

I suspect that I can't do what I'm trying to do but I have a number of identifier systems that I'm going to use in my examples and I'd like to set up an alias for the systems and then use them when I've setting the identifiers in the examples:

* identifier.system = $BatchNumber

This gives me a mismatched input error which I kind of expected. Is there another way to do this?

Hi @Jean Duteau -- we're actually considering supporting this usage of aliases, but we need to investigate a bit further to ensure there are no hidden gotchas. We'll be looking into this in our next two-week sprint (which starts tomorrow). See: https://github.com/FHIR/sushi/issues/87

Ha. Well, I wasn't going to say anything, but one of your other questions also has an associated existing issue: https://github.com/FHIR/sushi/issues/187 ;-)
