How to change an envelope recipient without losing the already filled fields ?

Question

How do I change an Envelope’s recipient without losing the tab values that may already have been filled by the previous user using esign api ?

Few things I have found and tried
collaborative fields are persisted over recipient updates

update recipient removes the fields that were filled by the previous recipient (using Finish Later option)

If update follows the following steps
1. mark all fields for recipient as shared: true using updateRecipientTabs api

2 update recipient

3 reset changes done in step 1

This works but it looks like a lot of over complication.

As I think the recipient who has finish signed the envelope can’t be changed.
