Can you change the index that Machine Learning Jobs use after job creation?

Hello,

I am looking for some assistance with a question. I have some machine learning jobs currently using an index called, "Win." Due to some configuration changes, the underlying index structure had to change, so the old "Win" index was deleted, and a new "Windows" index was created.
I tried looking at my machine learning jobs to adjust the index it is using, but I couldn't find the setting.
Does this exist? Are you able to edit the index a Machine Learning job is using after creation? Or do I have to create a custom copy of it, and select a new index?

TIA!

Certain things within ML job configurations are editable after the job is created, but the source index name isn't one of them.

However, there's a potential easy fix - create an index alias from the old name to the new name

Otherwise, you would need to clone the job config and retrain the job on the data from the new index name.

The alias is a good idea, I'll start there. Thank you!
