Currently, the new event registration form gets locked once it has been viewed, even if there is no data associated with it. This is a problem because if you share the link with someone to check the form without submitting it, you then can't edit it. The form should not get locked if there is no data associated with it, just like the inquiry and application forms.
In addition, if data has been submitted as a test and you delete the registrants, (data associated with the form) the form should return to an editable state which is the current behavior of inquiry and application forms.
