Can Quicken Loan & Payment Terms be modified from a 30-year loan to a 15-year loan?

I am part way through a 30-year mortgage and have just negotiated what's called a modified loan. This takes the unpaid principal and moves it into a 15-year mortgage at a lower interest rate. Can I adjust Quicken Loan and Payment Terms or is it best to close the original 30-year loan and start a new 15-year loan?

I'd create a new loan with the 15 yr term, and the initial entry in that new loan account would be a transfer to the 30 yr loan to pay it off.I.E., I'd treat this exactly the same as any other Refi, which this transaction actually is.
