I think there should be an option to add fields to the managed form after the form has been switched to "managed".

Use case:
Select content type edit form and convert to managed form.
Select a few fields, such as body, publishing options, etc.
Converted.
Install / enable other modules / features.
These new fields do not show up in the manage fields tab.
Unregister the form.
Re-register the form.
Select all the fields all over again.
Organize them in the Manage Fields tab.

Current behavior:
All of the organization (order, tabs, etc) is lost when unregistering and re-registering the form. There is no way to add fields once the form has been registered.

Expected / Desired behavior:
When the form is re-registered, the old organization is saved.
OR
There is an additional option on the rel setting to "add additional fields" once the form is registered.

Wow, you can't add new fields with rel enabled? That's a showstopper there. Is this issue still an issue?

The same happens if you import rel setup for a form as part of a feature. There is no way to change it.

One quick clarification: I think the original issue was posted in regards to new tabs/fields being added by modules being installed after a form has been registered. I've been able to manually add individual fields with rel enabled and a form registered without any problems.
