With more testing, I think it’s definitely an issue within GatherPress. As you mentioned, you were able to replicate the issue while using the Twenty Twenty-Four theme.
I’ve now tested with 10 fresh WordPress installations using Twenty Twenty-Four with only the GatherPress plugin active. Not once has my custom “Single Item: Events” Template?successfully overridden the default GatherPress template within the Add New Event Editor.
I’ve tested by adding my custom event layout in a Pattern and then adding the Pattern to the custom “Single Item: Events” Template.I’ve also tested by adding my custom event layout directly to the custom “Single Item: Events” Template.
No matter how I try to create a custom “Single Item: Events” Template within WordPress, it doesn’t override the default GatherPress layout in the Editor.
The only way I’ve been able to override the default GatherPress template within the editor has been to create my own template override plugin. NOTE – I’m not a very skilled dev, so this is really the limit of my abilities
<?php
/*
* Plugin Name: My Block Templates
* Description: Post Types: GatherPress Event
*/
function gatherpress_event_my_block_template() {
$post_type_object = get_post_type_object( 'gatherpress_event' );
$post_type_object->template = array(
array(
'core/group',
array(
'layout' => array(
'type' => 'constrained'
)
),
array(
array(
'core/columns',
array(),
array(
array(
'core/column',
array(
'width' => '66.66%'

add_action( 'init', 'gatherpress_event_my_block_template' );

I do understand the plugin is in Alpha, and I’m happy to work it hard with every real-world use-case to find bugs and offer improvement ideas. My ultimate application will be to create a simple front-end form for my Club’s organizers (setup as a custom role) to create a new event for our club.
NOTE – I’ve added the GatherPress Alpha plugin you linked
/wp-admin/site-editor.php?postId=prime-fse%2F%2Fsingle-gatherpress_event&postType=wp_template&canvas=editI first saw GatherPress early July in the WordPress Repo. Version 0.29.3. I started playing around with it a little ~mid-July, so not very long.
Per your suggestion, I deleted my custom “Single Item: Events” Template then recreated it. Still the same. When I create a new Event in GatherPress, it still shows the plugin’s default page theme in the editor.
