To remediate the misconfiguration of GCP BigQuery tables not enabling table refresh, you can follow these steps using the GCP console:

  1. Open the BigQuery console in the GCP console.
  2. Select the dataset containing the table that needs to be remediated.
  3. Click on the table name to open the table details view.
  4. Click on the “Edit schema” button located in the top right corner of the page.
  5. Scroll down to the “Advanced options” section and check the box next to “Allow field addition”.
  6. Scroll down further to the “Expiration” section and set the “Default table expiration” to a desired value, such as 1 day.
  7. Scroll down to the “Refresh” section and check the box next to “Allow field addition”.
  8. Set the “Default table refresh” to a desired value, such as 1 hour.
  9. Click the “Save schema” button to save the changes.

Once these steps are completed, the table will be remediated and will have table refresh enabled.
