    Description

      The canonical datatype has an incorrect definition for canonical.value.

      The .value element is defined as a string, but should be a canonical (or at least a uri).

      At the time of filing, I verified this is the definition in R4 4.0.1, R4B snapshot1 (CI branch no longer exists) and R5 CI Build.

      {
      "id": "canonical.value",
      "path": "canonical.value",
      "representation": ["xmlAttr"],
      "short": "Primitive value for canonical",
      "definition": "Primitive value for canonical",
      "min": 0,
      "max": "1",
      "base": {
        "path": "uri.value",
        "min": 0,
        "max": "1"
      },
      "type": [{
        "extension": [{
          "url": "http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/structuredefinition-fhir-type",
          "valueUrl": "string"
        }, {
          "url": "http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/regex",
          "valueString": "\\S*"
        }],
        "code": "http://hl7.org/fhirpath/System.String"
      }],
