Does Medplum implement the strategy for tag merging on resource updates described here? http://hl7.org/fhir/resource.html#tag-updates > When a resource is updated (e.g. on the RESTful interface), servers generally follow this pattern: > > * Merge existing and new tags Noticing this does not appear to be the case in the Medplum implementation - a PUT resource/id with different
meta.tags[]
values will replace but not merge any existing values
