HL7 is working on defining three new operations that make it possible to add and remove items from the list or group, and to retrieve a focused subset of the information in the list and group without having to transmit the entire resource.

These operations are still under development, so they are presently found in the [API Incubator](https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/api-incubator/operations-for-large-resources.html).
