Emma Gozzard needs to assign instruments to FAPs ahead of the end of a call to allow time for the FAP to be set up. The current controls though only allow an instrument to be assigned to a FAP if it is provided along with a non zero "available time" stat.
Instrument available time stats are only known just before the in person FAP meetings take place. We therefore need to either:
-Allow instruments to be added with zero (or some other placeholder value) time and updated later
-Ensure that instruments can be assigned to a FAP without any available time and for that information to be addable later.
This change is required urgently ahead of the end of ISIS 2025_1
