Search with Opencodelist builder only returns inactive SNOMED codes when there should also be active codes

[doro-s]

I am trying to build a SNOMED codelist for overweight and obesity in opencodelists.org (see my draft here). NB I first searched for existing obesity lists on opencodelists, but they only include findings, I would like to also include disorder codes. To build my own codelist, I searched for the terms: obesity, obese, overweight, BMI, Body Mass Index. My problem is that all the key disorder codes indicating obesity that the opencodelist builder returns are inactive ones. The only codes the search returns in the [active] “disorder” section are conditions where obesity is only mentioned as an additional feature (e.g., Diabetes type 2 in obese). For codes indicating obesity itself such as “Obesity” or “Buffalo obesity”, the search only returns inactive codes (e.g., Obesity 154776002, Obesity 190963004, Buffalo obesity 123291007 ) but it doesn’t return any of the active codes for the same term that I find on the NHS SNOMED CT browser, e.g. 414916001 Obesity (disorder) or Buffalo obesity (disorder) 360566006. Can someone please tell me where I am going wrong?
