Generic Validations for Logical Reference

During create interaction, the validation ensures that the system doesn’t contain any instance with the same identifier within the scope of the resource type.

Referential integrity validation:

• If the target resource type supports multiple resource types and while referencing no target is specified, then the system raises an error.

• The validation checks if the target resource type supports multiple resource types. The reference type must be among the one that is specified.

• The target reference identifier is checked against the use of official only.

• When referencing, the use field is optional. If the value is specified, then it must be official. Otherwise, the system raises an error.

• If the reference field has both identifier and logical ID values, then these values must point to the same target instance. If they don't match, the system raises an error.

The payload is enriched when the reference fields contain the identifier reference to store the logical ID of the target resource type.
