Is there any way to go back from C3PL to legacy style?
Is write erase, reload with backup config only method? Wanted to test config for few ports but i completly ignored the message clearly shown on CLI and copy and pasted a whole bunch of class policy command which converted everything "authentication" to new style and also thousands of line in to config

Enter the authentication display new-style command—This command switches to C3PL display mode, temporarily converting your legacy configuration to a Identity-Based Networking Services configuration so you can see how it looks before you make the conversion permanent. You can switch back to legacy mode by using the authentication display legacy command. See the Enabling the Display Mode for Cisco Identity Based Networking Services section.
Enter a Identity-Based Networking Services configuration command—After you enter the first explicit Identity-Based Networking Services command, the configuration converts to C3PL display mode permanently and legacy commands are suppressed. The authentication display command is disabled and you can no longer revert to the legacy configuration mode.
read this carefully

I am trying my way back, i cant keep config on new style as that is not what was agreed in our design and i was testing for a docking station that way not letting authentication happen.. and we noticed on SDA with the new style of config same dock and connected clients work fine..

You are correct
cisco push engineer to use IBN2.0 but many find it so complex and from my view keep using legacy it better and easy to config
