OPERATION: Delete profiles, tags, and security labels for a resource
The official URL for this operation definition is:
http://hl7.org/fhir/OperationDefinition/Resource-meta-delete
This operation takes a meta, and deletes the profiles, tags, and security labels found in it from the nominated resource. This operation can also be used on historical entries
URL: [base]/Resource/[id]/$meta-delete
Parameters
Use | Name | Cardinality | Type | Binding | Documentation |
IN | meta | 1..1 | Meta | Profiles, tags, and security labels to delete from the existing resource. It is not an error if these tags, profiles, and labels do not exist. The identity of a tag or security label is the system+code. When matching existing tags during deletion, 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.
