Hi all, This is an issue that was raised many years ago by the Code24 guys, which they called the 'pizza problem' i.e what toppings would you like on your pizza?
https://openehr.atlassian.net/wiki/display/spec/Multi-value+Leaf+Elements The standard approach is to model this, as has already been suggested, as multiple occurences of a coded_text element. This leaves the problem of how to exclude non-unique elements as Bert suggested. We have talked in the past about adding a 'unique' keyword to occurences to signfify that repeated identical elements are invalid, however I am struggling to think of any valid clinical use-case where it would be valid to have repeated, non-unique coded_text or text items. I think you can assume that at least for coded_text element with multiple occurence, unique should apply (although it is also difficult to see what harm would befall if mutliple identical codes were recorded in data. It would be probably be easy to add 'unique' keyword to occurences if necessary, as the key word already exists against containers but I am really not sure it is necessary.
