ApEx 4.1.1: update record in a view with 'instead of update' trigger

Question

I created a form against a view. The view is complex enough which prevents direct updates. To incorporate the update logic I created an 'instead of update' trigger on the view. When I open up the form, do changes, and click 'Apply Changes' button I am getting the following exception
ORA-02014: cannot select FOR UPDATE from view with DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc.
I understand that the standard 'Automatic Row Processing' process is trying to lock the record before updating using a cursor like
select *
from my_view
for update
and fails. Is it possible to bypass this locking while using the standard APEX processes?
I think I can create a custom PL/SQL process which would execute the UPDATE statement (at least, it works in SQL*Plus), but I would like to know if I can use a standard ApEx functionality for this.

Hello,
Sorry for delay.
I had found a feedback about trigger issue when restore SQL Database from a BACPAC file. Microsoft said the fixed  will be available in the next major release of DacFx.
Feedback:
SQL Azure fires a trigger when restoring from bacpac
You can refer to the workarounds in the feedback. For example, if there is small amount of triggers on the database, you can try to remove the triggers and then recreate when restore from bacpac file.
