Hi Ian, Thanks for your response. In my case, I intend to use some existing Archetypes in my own observation. Having one Cluster/section named Status and Signs, I want to put two existing archetypes named Observation: Laboratory Values and Observation:Physical Examination into that. Re-factoring existing archetypes, in this case, doesn't make sense since eliminates the benefits of reusing existing archetypes.
