The Advanced Editor (Rancor) uses a tag's mandatory flag to decide whether to
show in the UI when showing an editor for a new record.

This doesn't make 100% sense, since often a cataloguer will also want to see
optional fields (like 500) by default to serve as a prompt. 

In systems like Horizon, one refers to these as "templates". You have a
separate set of typical fields for books, journals, DVDs, etc. You don't have
to fill in all those fields, but they're the typical fields that you would use
for them.
