      Although the FHIR specification allows for a Coding to have no system or no code, FSH Coding requires at least a code. We will include an example of a Coding without a system. As for an example of a Coding without a display, that is already demonstrated in the last example.

      We also found a mistake in the specification when researching this issue. Although 3.6.3.3 Assignments with the Coding Data Type correctly notes only the code as required, 3.3.8 Codes and Codings mistakenly marks system as required as well. We will correct this.
