Being Able to Change the Opportunity Type

This has happened a couple of times because client sometimes don’t know if they want to bring someone on perm direct hire or maybe just contract for a while, to feel them out.

In this case, my client was open to Perm or Contract to Hire - leaning more towards Contract. So I created an Opportunity Type under Contract and have a lot of history in this job order with many notes and candidates. I made the placement but they decided to hire this person Perm instead of Contract. I need a way to change the job opportunity type to PERM instead of CONTRACT so I can keep all my candidate history. My only option now is to recreate the Job Order and move all the candidates over to the new PERM job order so I can accurately record my placement as a perm placement instead of contract. This will take me a week to accomplish and the dates won’t be accurate nor the time to close, everything is messed up. I know you can create a copy of contract job order to a contract job order but no way to copy a contract job order to a perm job order. This seems like it could be an easy fix just to disregard the default and/or custom field that relate to contract and move everything else to perm.
