      Concept Properties, type (4th row in table)

      Change the text from this:

      The type of the property value. Properties of type "code" contain a code defined by the code system (e.g. a reference to another defined concept)

      To this

      The type of the property value. The values for properties of type "code" (CodeSystem.concept.property.valueCode) are drawn from the codes defined in the CodeSystem instance.

    Description

      In the table of elements defining a property, it states:

      The type of the property value. Properties of type "code" contain a code defined by the code system (e.g. a reference to another defined concept)

      It is unclear which code system is being referenced here: The "current" CodeSystem resource in which this property is defined; the code system which property.code is drawn from, or another code system containing concepts for the property values.

      I think it is the latter option, but it isn't obvious. (It's also strange that the codes from that code system are used, but the system itself is never referenced.)
