Implicit ValueSets created via $expand should have a status and a timestamp

[Sebge]

Hey everyone,

while using the Snowstorm to execute an ECL-Query via the $expand-Operation (e.g. http://localhost:8080/fhir/ValueSet/$expand?url=http://snomed.info/sct?fhir_vs=ecl/%3E%3E46621007), the returned implicit ValueSet does not contain a status field. As this is mandatory according to the FHIR specification (http://hl7.org/fhir/valueset-definitions.html#ValueSet.status), it leads to problems with some FHIR clients. My suggestion would be to set the status to "active", even if it is not permanently stored on the server.

That's great spotting/advice there @Sebge, thank you. I'll raise an internal ticket for that ( see MAINT-2042 ) and it should get into our production system for 19 October and be merged to the master branch not long after that. I'll mark it as a bug as we're failing to provide a mandatory field.

Thank you @pgwilliams for your quick answer! While you are at it, you can also take a look at the timestamp field, which is required in the expansion in the ValueSet (http://hl7.org/fhir/valueset-definitions.html#ValueSet.expansion.timestamp) and is also missing at the moment... yes, my client library is very strict regarding absent values 😄

@Sebge the ValueSet expand status and expansion.timestamp fields have been included in the new FHIR implementation in Snowstorm version 8.1.0 https://github.com/IHTSDO/snowstorm/releases
