Why does Medplum resolve references with `urn:uuid` when it doesn't store the resource?

HI <@1083764540237422642> - I'm not sure I follow. would you mind sharing an example?

Like if you post a bundle and there's a reference to a resource not in Medplum, it will replace the resource type with `urn:uuid`

Hi <@1083764540237422642> , sorry for the delay

In general, there a many different `Bundle` types: https://www.hl7.org/fhir/bundle.html. 

Most are considered *output* bundles, not intended to be used to create resources. 

The main input bundles are `transaction` and `batch`.

oh I just looked at the code a bit more closely and I think it's just using the `fullUrl`

When you use the medplum app "Batch" page, if you send a `transaction` or `batch`, it should not make any modifications. However, if you post an *output* bundle, the "Batch" page uses some heuristics to convert it to a `transaction` bundle.

yeah it was a transaction bundle, I just realized medplum was using what was given and didn't check the data I was sending properly
