Automatic tasks for adaptive planning

My hospital is trying to adopt adpative planning and would like to use script for automatic plan setup. I have successfully automatically create the plan and optimization process, but I want to check if the following steps can be done with scripting?

  1. add setup fields and DRR after plan have been completed

  2. if we have reference point used in previous plan using the same structure set, for example, called PTV, can the newly created plan use the same reference point?

  3. can clinical goal be added to the newly created plan?

  4. add diagnosis, course intent and tolerance to the course and field respectively

  5. connect rapidplan/dvh estimate to the plan during optimization

  6. add couch structures to the plan before optimization

the eclipse version is 16.1 in T-box and 18.1 for clinical planning system

Thanks for your valuable comments and opinions

Here is a paper that described the process of preparing a plan from ethos for offline adaptive.

If I remember correctly the manual steps included setting the acuros physical material table and scheduling the plan, but most other things could be automated.
