Set AutoRemove false for running container

I wanted to add a restart policy to a running container without restarting it via docker update --restart=always <container-id> but since I originally started the container with the --rm flag (which sets AutoRemove = true) the update fails as you can either set a RestStartPolicy or AutoRemove.

Is there any way to get rid of AutoRemove without stopping and starting the container?

No, you cannot get rid of the AutoRemove flag, docker does not support changing that, because the docker daemon starts monitoring a container with --rm the moment it's started (to perform the removal). According to this Github issue, that would be difficult to implement.
