Issue

Shortcut partcipation of a causative agent associated with an observation, e.g. allergy caused by peanuts.

Recomendation

• Add proposed Causative Agent (CAUS) participation from Observation to Agent choice box (proposed in CSCR-043)

Rationale

An allergy/intolerance is commonly represented as an observation/condition and the associated causative agent. To represent this simple/shortcut Allergy representation, the causative agent particpation directly associated from the obseravtion is required.
