Hello,

I am interested in learning if there is a way to modify patient level tags (patient id, name, etc) when requesting a study/{key}/modify call.

The scenario we are interested in accomplishing is to select a specific study and change the study info + patient info so it is coerced into a new study and patient.

I see we can change patient attributes on the patients/{key}/modify call, but this appears to traverse all studies under a patient. Is there a way we can focus the modify to just a selected study and adjust patient/study level attributes?

I notice this card ("Duplicate patient tags into study tags" [https://trello.com/c/dAWk0PEh](https://trello.com/c/dAWk0PEh)) in Trello which \*may\* indicate the above scenario, but it is not quite clear if it does address the issue.

Thanks for all the hard work in building Orthanc. It is a fabulous, well-thought product!
