  <description value="Generates a [[[Questionnaire]]] instance  based on a specified [[[StructureDefinition]]],
   creating questions for each core element or extension element found in the StructureDefinition.
      If the operation is not called at the instance level, one of the *identifier*, *profile*
   or *url* 'in' parameters must be provided.  (If called at the instance level, these parameters
   will be ignored.  If more than one is specified, servers may raise an error or may resolve
   with the parameter of their choice.)  The response will contain a [[[Questionnaire]]]
   instance based on the specified [[[StructureDefinition]]] and/or an [[[OperationOutcome]]]
   resource with errors or warnings.  Nested groups are used to handle complex structures
   and data types.  If the 'supportedOnly' parameter is set to true, only those elements
   marked as &quot;must support&quot; will be included.  This operation is intended to enable
   auto-generation of simple interfaces for arbitrary profiles.  The 'questionnaire' approach
   to data entry has limitations that will make it less optimal than custom-defined interfaces.
    However, this function may be useful for simple applications or for systems that wish
   to support &quot;non-core&quot; resources with minimal development effort."/>
