    Description

       I have a questionnaire item which display list of diagnoses. 

       

       {
         "linkId": "4.1",
         "extension": [
           {
             "url": "http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/cqf-expression",
             "valueExpression": {
               "language": "text/cql",
               "expression": "\"VentilatorsPrepopulation\".RelevantDiagnoses"
             }
           }
         ],
         "text": "Patient Diagnoses related to need for a ventilator",
         "type": "open-choice",
         "require": "true",
         "repeats": "true",
         "answerOption": [...]
       },
      

       

      This item is used in multiple questionnaires but the expression value is changed from questionnaire to questionnaire. I am trying to make a subQuestionnaire for the common diagnose item. Wondering if I can use the variable extension though that extension is scoped to FHIRPath only.
      Here is what I thought:

      In sub Questionnaire:

       

      {
        "linkId": "4.1",
        "extension": [
          {
            "url": "http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/cqf-expression",
            "valueExpression":
            {
              "langauge": "text/cql",
              "expression": "%diagnoses-expression"
            }
          }
        ],
        "text": "Patient Diagnoses related to need for a ventilator",
        "type": "open-choice",
        "require": "true",
        "repeats": "true",
        "answerOption": [...]
      }
      

      And in container Questionnaire:

       

       

      {
        "linkId": "4.1",
        "extension": [
          {
            "url": "http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/subQuestionnaire",
            "valueReferece": {
              "reference": "..."
            },
          }
          {
            "url": "http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/variable",
            "valueExpression":
            {
              "langugae": "text/cql"
              "name": "diagnoses-expression",
              "expression": "\"VentilatorsPrepopulation\".RelevantDiagnoses"
            }
          }
        ],
        "type": "display"
      },
      

      Here is the discussion on zulip:

      https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179255-questionnaire/topic/Connectathon.20Track/near/196653954

      As a summary, the concern is that if I leave $diagnoses-expression not initalized in sub Questionnaire, the sub Questionnaire itself may be invalid as a variable without value. If I initialize the variable with default value in sub Questionnaire, then  $assemble operation can throw error for duplicated variables.
