Actually I think I found my answer here [Filtering incoming dicom instances using metadata (with python plugin) - #2 by Alain\_Mazy1](https://discourse.orthanc-server.org/t/filtering-incoming-dicom-instances-using-metadata-with-python-plugin/2624/2)

My understanding is that the information is accessible with `GetInstanceMetadata()` after the instance has been stored, which is something I would like to avoid. I will stay with lua then.

Follow up question: do you think it would be possible to change the `orthanc.InstanceOrigin` enum for an object similar to the `origin` table in lua for the Python Plugin?

Thanks!  
Gabriel
