Thanks for the response, but it appears Quartus can only update all the MIF files in a design.

Quartus cannot update a single MIF when multiple MIF's exist for a design.

Thanks, James

  It also appears that this question was asked previously here in March 2019:
  
  https://community.intel.com/t5/Programmable-Devices/Is-it-possible-to-update-one-mif-file-instead-of-the-all-set-to/m-p/694582
  
  From the Quartus GUI, it does not appear that this is possible.
  
  However, upon further searching, it appears possible with a Makefile, as shown here:
  
  https://github.com/tomverbeure/fpga_quick_ram_update/blob/179837c409beaad14c12c24f1323ec0cfa0468f5/quartus_max10_deca/Makefile
  
  The makefile shows iterative update of all the Makefiles in a design, but one could select a limited set of makefiles to update.
