[Not exposed in application]

The modifyCodeSystem element is used to update the properties of the code system itself.

modifyCodeSystem has two optional elements. The first, ballotStatus, defines the status of the modification if it is different than the status as it occurs on the selectCodeSystem node. The second optional element, description, is used to add, update or remove the existing code system description. If the description element is not supplied, the existing code system description is unchanged. The name of a code system can be changed as well, using the codeSystemName attribute.
