Description
Questionnaire.item.answerOption is currently (after rule que-5) allowed for 8 item-types, but answerOption.value[x] only defines 6 value-choices.
Missing, corresponding to the 8 item-types, are:
valueDecimal, valueDateTime, valueQuantity.
Additionaly answerOption.value[x] allows valueReference, while item.type reference is not allowed to have answerOption/answerValueSet (according to rule que-5).
Finally there are no restrictions documented for which value-choice should be used for a specific item.type. Meaning at the moment an item with type integer is allowed to have answerOption with valueDate, valueQuantity, ... . An explicit rule expecting type and value to match could speed up understanding the intention of answerOption in R5.
