## Objective
Verify the form remains in an "edited" state and Save stays enabled even after a changed value is reverted to its original.

## Preconditions
- See [[PRE-DF-cp-editing-form]]

## Steps
1. Change a field, then change it back to its original value
2. Navigate to another step

## Expected Result
- Then the system still treats the form as edited
- And the Save button stays enabled on steps that allow save

## Source Traceability
- TSD: PK141
- Section: C1 - Edited State
- Scenario: C1.2 - Edited state stays active after revert
- Acceptance Criteria: PRD C.1 Scenario 7-10

## Evidence Required
- Screen recording of revert + Save still enabled.

## Notes / Gaps
- A structural-field revert before save must still be distinguished from a no-change final state at version evaluation (see DFMOD-C2-EDGE-004).
