Can an Advice post be changed into a QA post?

Regarding this post:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79806698/how-to-detect-use-of-stdstring-short-string-optimization

Very clearly a question looking for a technical solution, but it was posted as Advice instead of QA, so it can only receive comments but no answers.

Is there any way a moderator or someone else with reputation can change this? Or will the poster have to delete it and repost it?

Going forward, how about tweaking the UI so when a new post is being created, the user is made aware of when to use one type of post over another so they don't make this kind of mistake again?
