construct_fhir_element change the given dict

[ItayGoren]

• fhir.resources version: 6
• Python version: 3.8
• Operating System: mac

Description

Running the following code:

from fhir.resources import construct_fhir_element
d = {'resourceType': 'Patient', 'contained':[{'resourceType': 'Patient'}]}
construct_fhir_element('Patient', d)

end up changing the value of d to {'resourceType': 'Patient', 'contained': [{}]}

I would expect it to not change the given object. Moreover, because it doesn't delete resourceType from the outter dictionary, I assume this behavior is not expected.
Is it on purpose?
Thanks,
Itay
