How to enable $convert-data for the FHIR server deployed on AKS

[Alan-Kuan]

Hello.

I deployed a FHIR server on AKS with the sample in this repo. However, I didn't see any option to enable the $convert-data feature.
Besides, I tested the API and confirmed it was disabled by default.
Is there any method or work around that I can apply to enable it?

Hey @Alan-Kuan, you can enable Convert Data via the option in the doc below. Try it out and let me know if it works.

Hello Mikael, thanks for your reply. I've read that page, but I only found the FhirServer__Operations__ConvertData__Enabled option here.
I have no idea how to enable it by editing the values.yml in the helm chart for the AKS deployment.

The AKS options have not been updated in a couple of years. Please file an issue if you want them updated. 😄 Can you add FhirServer__Operations__ConvertData__Enabled as an environment variable as a workaround for now?

[Alan-Kuan]

I see. I'm also willing to help updating it, if there's anything I can do.
Besides, did that mean I just have to update the env section in the deployment.yaml?

As suggested by @mikaelweave. I successfully enabled the feature by adding the following texts at the env section of deployment.yaml.

- name: FhirServer__Operations__ConvertData__Enabled
  value: "true"
