I have removed an index replacing it with identical one with one field changed. I forgot that it's mapped to a visualization and the visualization is missing that index now. How do i change the reference settings in the visualization to replace the missing index with the new one?

if you replace id: with new index-pattern id it will work.

I have tested it in past and it does work.
