can COS start date be changed?

[teejaysmart]

Hello there, as an employer, a COS was issued under a wrong category. Employer informed homeoffice and the COS was cancelled and the slot was given back to employer. The COS is opened to be issued , it has not been assigned but the start date cannot be altered. IS there a way to change a start date as the start date already gone past but the COS is still valid and not expired yet. Just to change start date by putting it forward and issue it to a potential employee. Any one can help with this info on how to do this please.
