Converting an order from LIMIT to MARKET

unoffocial
Hi,

Is an order convertible from LIMIT to MARKET?
Or do I have to cancel the limit order and make a new market order of the same quantity?
Kite seems to do it in an automated way but the documentation does not say that the order_type is modifiable. https://kite.trade/docs/connect/v1/#modifying-orders

    Yes, You can convert a LIMIT Order to MARKET Order

    Below possible conversion
    LIMIT --> MARKET
    SL-M --> LIMIT
    SL-M --> MARKET
    SL --> LIMIT
    SL --> MARKET

    Below is not allowed.
    LIMIT --> SL-M
    LIMIT --> SL
