When is the right time to nest information within multiple

answer

with repeated groups of sub-items, or just put them within multiple

item

with repeated groups of sub-items? An example:

- physician timings (A)
  - physician ID (A)
  - availability object (A)  (could just be an item though)
    - availability enabled for day (A)
    - availability day (A)
    - availability time period (could be an answer though)
      - availability time period start (A)
      - availability time period end (A)

For this example, should we be putting all

availability objects

/

availability time period

information within an

answer

array or an

item

array?

Hi @jasonwa.ng , thanks for the question. Just so I understand the question correctly, is this a schematic of your

Questionnaire

, or the

QuestionnaireResponse

?

This is a schematic of my

QuestionnaireResponse

!

@jasonwa.ng the best practice is for your

QuestionnaireResponse.items

to mirror the structure of your

Questionnaire.items

. So if your

Questionnaire.item[i]

has bot an

anwerOption

and nested sub-items, doing the same in the response would be a good move
