I don't think so. In Sh3 this would generate a validation error when you tried to save the game. I have not tested this in sh4 yet but I think it would be the same. I'll try this now.

Mind you, 'Update instance' works by setting the entrydate to after the mission start so that it cannot be physically placed in the world until the trigger activates. But in this case I think the overriding availability date still matters.
