This issue is similar to #71, though I believe different enough for a separate issue.
The use-case is as follows: a previous configuration is loaded from json file, with arguments filled in appropriately. However, I would like to update some configuration parameters individually.
So, rather than copy the saved json and edit the values manually, I'd instead like to see a load() method invocation followed by a method to parse individual parameters to defined arguments.
This is currently not possible, as missing non-optional arguments that have not been specified (but have been defined in the loaded json) produce errors.
Thank you for raising this issue! We think this is a good idea and propose to implement it by adding a flag to load and from_dict and modifying this line to allow the user to suppress the error when required arguments are missing.
