Can I amend 2017 return in order to file 3115 and then report prior years depreciation on sale if rental property in 2018 return?

I sold the rental property in 2018 and it looks like this would disqualify me from the automatic change procedure on form 3115. 

If I amend 2017 return to attach 3115 then I think it will be eligible for automatic change procedure. Then I can list prior years depreciation on the 2018 return for sale if business property. 

Do you agree?
