Is there any way to change the Data source URL for a feature service when credentials are stored?

I have multiple feature services added to  ArcGIS online,  the sources of these services are secured  ArcGIS server (10.6.1) services.  

The services were added to ArcGIS Online using the option to store credentials. Now I need to change/update the services links and make it point to another machine or link.

Without storing credentials it was easy to change the service link by using the ArcGIS Online Assistant , but with storing the credentials a proxy item is created which securely stores the information!. The service url will look something like the following (in the AGOL and AGOL assistant):

http://utility.arcgis.com/usrsvcs/servers/3ce4ed6b06bfdgfdgthgfgfd/reset/services/A

The below screenshot from the service overview tab in AGOL:

But by looking at the service setting tab the Data Source URL still that same as the ArcGIS server, is there a method to edit this link to something like https://gis.ABC.com/arcigs/services

Thank you,

Ahmad

Thank you Chelsea! I had no idea that option was available. It reassigns a new ID so I'll have to go back and recreate the items but it will avoid the issue moving forward.

If you can remember which layers were which #, you can enable "allow unique IDs" and then manually change them on each layer to the original #. I believe it will warn you when you republish if there are accidently duplicate #s.
