@kapa.ai Is it possible for a source who has Source-Defined Cursor to modified this cursor manually ?

Based on the provided knowledge sources, sources with a Source-Defined Cursor automatically determine the cursor without any user input. For example, in the [exchange rates source](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/exchange-rates), the source knows that the date field should be used to determine the last record that was synced. In these cases, you simply select the incremental option in the UI. There is no information in the provided knowledge sources that indicates you can manually modify the cursor for sources that have a Source-Defined Cursor. The process is automated and does not require user intervention. For more details, you can refer to the documentation on Source-Defined Cursors: - [Incremental Sync - Append > Source-Defined Cursor](https://docs.airbyte.com/using-airbyte/core-concepts/sync-modes/incremental-append#source-defined-cursor) - [Incremental Sync - Append + Deduped > Source-Defined Cursor](https://docs.airbyte.com/using-airbyte/core-concepts/sync-modes/incremental-append-deduped#source-defined-cursor) If you need to manually define or modify a cursor, you would typically be dealing with a User-Defined Cursor, where you can select the column in the sync settings dropdown that should be used as the
cursor field
. For more information on User-Defined Cursors, you can refer to: - [Incremental Sync - Append > User-Defined Cursor](https://docs.airbyte.com/using-airbyte/core-concepts/sync-modes/incremental-append#user-defined-cursor) - [Incremental Sync - Append + Deduped > User-Defined Cursor](https://docs.airbyte.com/using-airbyte/core-concepts/sync-modes/incremental-append-deduped#user-defined-cursor) If you have any further questions or need more specific guidance, please refer to the relevant sections of the Airbyte documentation.
