Fmriprep nipype.workflow ERROR: ValueError: Affine for image 2 does not match affine for first image

Hi there,

I was running one subject on fmriprep and firstly everything went great except for the SDC. The output data were generated successfully but the SDC wasn’t performed.

My data tree is listed as follow:

So I followed this answer Susceptibility distortion failed by defining the “IntendedFor" and “B0FieldIdentifier” in all of my fmaps json files, and “B0FieldSource” in all my BOLD json files.

At first it went smoothly. Seems like it identified the fmap estimators to correct the bold data:
