Should these two be treated as the same or different?

well, that depends on what you are doing, But in general, you can’t assume that code.text = code.coding.display means that they are the same thing. it’s pretty much a case by case decision by a human

I wanted to verify if that were the case, thank you

Even though you said it’s case by case I agree with your previous statement that we can’t and shouldn’t assume that code.text = code.coding.display
