# Change Registration Type for Applicants

## Problem

Previously, changing an applicant's registration type required direct console access, making it inaccessible to non-technical administrators and error-prone.

## How it works

Administrators can now change an applicant's registration type directly from the applicant's detail page in the admin panel.

1. Navigate to the applicant's detail page in the admin area.
2. In the actions sidebar, click **Change Registration Type**.
3. A confirmation modal appears with a warning that existing registration form data will be lost.
4. Select the new registration type from the dropdown.
5. Click **Confirm** to apply the change.

The system replaces the registration form template with the one associated with the new registration type. All existing registration form inputs are removed and fresh fields are created for the new template.

## Important notes

* This action is irreversible. All existing registration form data is permanently removed when the registration type is changed.
* Only non-archived registration types are available as options.
* The applicant's current registration type is excluded from the dropdown.
