I don't know if you're implying that this happened with the Word of Wisdom, but it doesn't seem to have.

"It can only be concluded from the available evidence that no General Conference of the Church has ever specifically voted to change the status of the Word of Wisdom from counsel to commandment. Indeed, for most of the nineteenth century, efforts to elevate the Word of Wisdom to a commandment were rejected by church leaders.”
