In the QSF :

set_instance_assignment -name CURRENT_STRENGTH_NEW "MAXIMUM CURRENT" -to arria_dq

Or, in the assignment editor, choose the "Current Strength" assignment, then it has a drop down box for different values you may assign, although depending on your voltage level they may not all be valid assignments.
