How to update constraints references to solve "Some external references are missing." issue

Hello,

I've been using onshape for quite some time, but I still haven't figured out if there is a workaround for the following situation:

You create a sketch on a surface, like the one shown in the first picture, then you change the surface of the sketch and the constraints are lost, as shown in the second image. I know that it makes sense that they are lost, but is there a way to change the reference of the lost constraint without deleting them? 

Thank you in advance

    Offset is the worst one to try to fix. In this case you’ll just have to delete and redo.
