           of the applicable actions in the plan based on evaluating the applicability condition
           in context. For each applicable action, the definition is applied as described in the
           $apply operation of the ActivityDefinition resource, and the resulting resource is added
           as an entry to the Bundle. If the ActivityDefinition includes library references, those
           libraries will be available to the evaluated expressions. If those libraries have parameters,
           those parameters will be bound by name to the parameters given to the operation. In addition,
           parameters to the $apply operation are available within dynamicValue expressions as context
           variables, accessible by the name of the parameter, prefixed with a percent (%) symbol.
           For a more detailed description, refer to the PlanDefinition and ActivityDefinition resource
           documentation. Note that result of this operation is transient (i.e. none of the resources
           created by the operation are persisted in the server, they are all returned as entries
           in the result Bundle(s)). The result effectively represents a proposed set of activities,
           and it is up to the caller to determine whether and how those activities are actually
           carried out and/or persisted.</p>
