fails with hl7apy.exceptions.ChildNotValid: <Component CM_MSG_1 (MESSAGE_TYPE) of type ID> is not a valid child for <Field MSH_9 (MESSAGE_TYPE) of type CM_MSG>

It looks like this is due to this method: https://github.com/crs4/hl7apy/blob/v1.3.0/hl7apy/core.py#L89 where we try to parent, index = child_name.split("_") on a name that will actually have 3 values after the .split(). Examples of those here: https://github.com/crs4/hl7apy/blob/v1.3.0/hl7apy/v2_3/datatypes.py#L94

It may be worth doing something like this in that method instead:

        child_name_segments = child_name.split("_")
        index = child_name_segments.pop()
        parent = '_'.join(child_name_segments)
        int(index)

Hi @nguyenvpd, you're right, the problem is with that split. I'll mark it as a bug and I'll try to fix this ASAP, since it make it impossible to use version 2.3 messages. Thank you, Vittorio

I've fixed the bug in version 1.3.1
