    Description

      The Past or Present Job description says "Text values are recommended when coded occupation or industry values cannot be determined," but the Concept Description (CD) data type says "A concept qualifier code with optionally named role. Both qualifier role and value codes must be defined by the coding system." which suggests that a concept qualifier code is required. Please clarify if text is a valid alternative to a coded entry for CD data type elements
