    Description

      The profiles in the specification hold fields which are not Must Support but are marked as "Modifier Elements". Modifier elements can be optional, but when present, they will change the meaning of other fields in the resource. (see http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/elementdefinition-definitions.html#ElementDefinition.isModifier).

      An example of such field are Patient.active }}and {{{}Patient.link.

      The Must Support section (or other part of the specification), should include a section indicting what to do with allowed elements, marked as modifier but not as Must Support.
