purpose:
  v: This extension is part of the cross-version definitions generated to enable use of the element `InventoryItem.characteristic` as defined in FHIR R5 in FHIR R4. The source element is defined as: `InventoryItem.characteristic` 0..* `BackboneElement` Across FHIR versions, the element set has been mapped as: * R5 `InventoryItem.characteristic` 0..* `BackboneElement` Following are the generation technical comments: Element `InventoryItem.characteristic` is not mapped to FHIR R4, since FHIR R5 `InventoryItem` is not mapped. Element `InventoryItem.characteristic` has no mapping targets in FHIR R4. Typically, this is because the element has been added (is a new element).

comment:
  v: Element `InventoryItem.characteristic.value[x]` is part of an existing definition because parent element `InventoryItem.characteristic` requires a cross-version extension. Element `InventoryItem.characteristic.value[x]` is not mapped to FHIR R4, since FHIR R5 `InventoryItem` is not mapped. Element `InventoryItem.characteristic.value[x]` has no mapping targets in FHIR R4. Typically, this is because the element has been added (is a new element). The string value is used for characteristics that are descriptive and not codeable information. CodeableConcept.text is used when the characteristic is discrete and could otherwise be coded but for which there is no code available.
