This is the narrative for the resource. See also the XML or JSON format.
OPERATION: Add profiles, tags, and security labels to a resource
The official URL for this operation definition is:
http://hl7.org/fhir/OperationDefinition/Resource-meta-add
This operation takes a meta, and adds the profiles, tags, and security labels found in it to the nominated resource. This operation can also be used on historical entries - to update them without creating a different historical version
URL: [base]/Resource/[id]/$meta-add
Parameters
Use | Name | Cardinality | Type | Binding | Documentation |
IN | meta | 1..1 | Meta | Profiles, tags, and security labels to add to the existing resource. Note that profiles, tags, and security labels are sets, and duplicates are not created. The identity of a tag or security label is the system+code. When matching existing tags during adding, version and display are ignored. For profiles, matching is based on the full URL | |
OUT | return | 1..1 | Meta | Resulting meta for the resource |
This operation is special in that executing this operation does not cause a new version of the resource to be created. The meta is updated directly. This is because the content in meta does not affect the meaning of the resource, and the security labels (in particular) are used to apply access rules to existing versions of resources
Usage note: every effort has been made to ensure that the examples are correct and useful, but they are not a normative part of the specification.
