This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/task-code defines the following codes:

Code Display Definition Copy
approve Activate/approve the focal resource Take what actions are needed to transition the focus resource from 'draft' to 'active' or 'in-progress', as appropriate for the resource type. This may involve additing additional content, approval, validation, etc. btn   btn
fulfill Fulfill the focal request Act to perform the actions defined described in the focus request. This might result in a 'more assertive' request (order for a plan or proposal, filler order for a placer order), but is intend to eventually result in events. The degree of fulfillment requested might be limited by Task.restriction. btn   btn
instantiate Instantiate the focal definition Act to perform the actions defined in the focus definition resource (ActivityDefinition, PlanDefinition, Questionnaire, etc.) For PlanDefinition or ActivityDefinition, this might result in a 'more assertive' request (order for a plan or proposal, filler order for a placer order), but is intend to eventually result in events. For Questionnaire, this would result in a QuestionnaireResponse - and possibly resources constructed using data extracted from the response. The degree of fulfillment requested might be limited by Task.restriction. btn   btn
abort Mark the focal resource as no longer active Abort, cancel or withdraw the focal resource, as appropriate for the type of resource. btn   btn
replace Replace the focal resource with the input resource Replace the focal resource with the specified input resource btn   btn
change Change the focal resource Update the focal resource of the owning system to reflect the content specified as the Task.focus btn   btn
suspend Suspend the focal resource Transition the focal resource from 'active' or 'in-progress' to 'suspended' btn   btn
resume Re-activate the focal resource Transition the focal resource from 'suspended' to 'active' or 'in-progress' as appropriate for the resource type. btn   btn

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. 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
