Lvl Level System Code Display Definition
0 1 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type    invalid Invalid Content Content invalid against the specification or a profile.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         structure Structural Issue A structural issue in the content such as wrong namespace, unable to parse the content completely, invalid syntax, etc.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         required Required element missing A required element is missing.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         value Element value invalid An element or header value is invalid.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         invariant Validation rule failed A content validation rule failed - e.g. a schematron rule.
0 1 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type    security Security Problem An authentication/authorization/permissions issue of some kind.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         login Login Required The client needs to initiate an authentication process.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         unknown Unknown User The user or system was not able to be authenticated (either there is no process, or the proferred token is unacceptable).
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         expired Session Expired User session expired; a login may be required.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         forbidden Forbidden The user does not have the rights to perform this action.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         suppressed Information Suppressed Some information was not or might not have been returned due to business rules, consent or privacy rules, or access permission constraints. This information may be accessible through alternate processes.
0 1 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type    processing Processing Failure Processing issues. These are expected to be final e.g. there is no point resubmitting the same content unchanged.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         not-supported Content not supported The interaction, operation, resource or profile is not supported.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         duplicate Duplicate An attempt was made to create a duplicate record.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         multiple-matches Multiple Matches Multiple matching records were found when the operation required only one match.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         not-found Not Found The reference provided was not found. In a pure RESTful environment, this would be an HTTP 404 error, but this code may be used where the content is not found further into the application architecture.
2 3 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type             deleted Deleted The reference pointed to content (usually a resource) that has been deleted.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         too-long Content Too Long Provided content is too long (typically, this is a denial of service protection type of error).
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         code-invalid Invalid Code The code or system could not be understood, or it was not valid in the context of a particular ValueSet.code.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         extension Unacceptable Extension An extension was found that was not acceptable, could not be resolved, or a modifierExtension was not recognized.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         too-costly Operation Too Costly The operation was stopped to protect server resources; e.g. a request for a value set expansion on all of SNOMED CT.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         business-rule Business Rule Violation The content/operation failed to pass some business rule and so could not proceed.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         conflict Edit Version Conflict Content could not be accepted because of an edit conflict (i.e. version aware updates). (In a pure RESTful environment, this would be an HTTP 409 error, but this code may be used where the conflict is discovered further into the application architecture.).
0 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type      limited-filter Limited Filter Application Some search filters might not have applied on all results. Data may have been included that does not meet all of the filters listed in the `self` `Bundle.link`.
1 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type    transient Transient Issue Transient processing issues. The system receiving the message may be able to resubmit the same content once an underlying issue is resolved.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         lock-error Lock Error A resource/record locking failure (usually in an underlying database).
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         no-store No Store Available The persistent store is unavailable; e.g. the database is down for maintenance or similar action, and the interaction or operation cannot be processed.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         exception Exception An unexpected internal error has occurred.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         timeout Timeout An internal timeout has occurred.
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         incomplete Incomplete Results Not all data sources typically accessed could be reached or responded in time, so the returned information might not be complete (applies to search interactions and some operations).
1 2 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type         throttled Throttled The system is not prepared to handle this request due to load management.
0 1 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type    informational Informational Note A message unrelated to the processing success of the completed operation (examples of the latter include things like reminders of password expiry, system maintenance times, etc.).
1 http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type    success Operation Successful The operation completed successfully.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Lvl A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information
Source The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding ). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
