Patient ID [xxxx] differs from Patient ID [yyyy] in previous received object of Study[uid=zzzz]

Describe the bug
I'm facing a trouble when sending images from MRI equipment. I got an error:

I checked dicom tags and reconized that the "ABCD" and "DCM4CHEE.40CBE202.0C09C769" are values of the IssuerOfPatientID.

I don't know why the same Study[uid=2.25.307110035594312160909468048260442701891] have 2 "IssuerOfPatientID"s??

Does anybody know how to set auto merge in this case?

I don't know why the same Study[uid=2.25.307110035594312160909468048260442701891] have 2 "IssuerOfPatientID"s??

The first object sent for this study didn't contain any issuer, triggering archive's default coercion to supplement issuer from patient demographics. The next object sent by modality contained ABCD as IssuerOfPatientID resulting in the above error.

Ensure if ABCD is the IssuerOfPatientID, it is set in all objects by the modality sending the various series' of study.

@vrindanayak
Thank you so much for your response.

Ensure if ABCD is the IssuerOfPatientID, it is set in all objects by the modality sending the various series' of study.

You mean, we can set a fixed value to IssuerOfPatientID for all objects in the modality equipment, right?

Another way, can I make a configuration on the DCM4CHEE arc to auto-merge the study?
If I'd like to skip the IssuerOfPatientID when sending images from the modality to dcm4chee, where can I config?
