Cause menu changes to take place without nuking

Using openemr docker development-easy-light based off of openemr docker image : openemr/openemr:flex-3.22,

I want toupdate the menu options available for front desk user role. Currently, the way I know how to do this, is to edit openemr/interface/main/tabs/menu and then edit or remove the unwanted options from the json file front_office.json

These changes wont take effect untill I run a docker-compose down -v and then docker compose up -d. This is a problem cause then I lose all configurations and testing data / forms I have set up and its annoying and tedious to redo all those each time. Is there a way to force the regeneration of the menu from that template without removing all volumes the way I am describing?

Thank you!

SO I found it out! basically use the “docker exec -it” method into the openemr container, navigate to “openemr/interface/main/tabs/menu/menus” find the json, edit it with vim, refresh the page and good to go
