#2152 Can I work on this please @Haarolean  ? @shubhwip sure! @Haarolean Having looked at #2152 I think we can solve this problem just by disabling the `schema type` during edit. This way we can stop users to change schema type during schema edit :).
Also I checked if there is any PUT endpoint on schema registry service but seems like there is nothing.

Submitted the PR for the above change #2495

made it a bit clearer ```suggestion

``` ```suggestion

```
Make a separate endpoint for updating schemas
Currently there's just one endpoint for both creating and updating a schema. Schema type param shouldn't be available when updating an existing schema.
