I would like to understand how dcm4chee-arc-light is intended to handle “repeat study” scenarios in an MWL-driven workflow.

Typical situation:

A modality performs a study against an MWL item and sends the images to the archive.
Later, it is found that this study was not diagnostically acceptable.
The modality then acquires a new study (with a new Study Instance UID) but still against the same MWL item.

My question:
How does dcm4chee-arc-light handle this repeat acquisition scenario in terms of MWL, PPS, and study linkage? Specifically, what is the expected/standard way that the archive maintains the association between the MWL item and multiple performed studies, while also accounting for rejection of the initial study?
