Hi - I am able to post encounter, obs and visit using fhir apis, but not able to see them linked on UI for a patient. When I create them from UI , they are linked properly and shown in appropriate place. Also I have noticed below. 1- The encounter fhir post call creates a record in visit table but not in encounter table 2- Encounter created from the UI creates a record in the Encounter table not in visit table. 3- If I create a visit record from ui , I can add an Encounter to it. That makes sense. But why same thing is not happening through FHIR api. I have already gone through the topic at below link but still have these doubts. [[FHIR Encounter, Visit, & Observation resources](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/fhir-encounter-visit-observation-resources/1781)] Could someone please help me on this. Thanks. ---
