This specifies the maximum number of digits that can appear after the decimal point in a number. It counts all the digits to the right of the decimal point when the number is written out in full, standard decimal form (without 'e' or 'E'). For example, a number in scientific notation like 1.23e-4 equals 0.000123 when expanded; it would be consistent with a maximum number of decimal places of 6 or more.' vs 'For questionnaires, see additional guidance and examples in the [SDC implementation guide](http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/sdc/2025Jan/behavior.html#maxDecimalPlaces).
