Not sure if you got the answer. But for CLI based update you can try following - Get the transfer config location (us\asia) for the scheduled query- bq ls \

--transfer_config \ --transfer_location=

Execute bq update bq update \ --transfer_config \ --schedule='every xx minutes'

Above is just an example, you can update the update values for what you need to modify in the scheduled query.

Answer 4

This is an issue already reported to the BigQuery engineering team.

You can track the progress of the research regarding this issue in this link. It seems an issue with the BigQuery UI as the Classic UI seems to be working

I suggest starring the issue to indicate you're being affected by this issue.

UPDATE

The classic UI may have issues regarding the dataset destination set.

I consider recreating the scheduled query would be the best workaround while the fix is released.
