Hi, you can acomplish this with a flow. You can create a flow to ask for the necessary required fields and then use the flow to fill in the rest of the information.
Some info here:

You might also be able to acomplish what you want with a URL hack. You can create a button that will auto-fill the required fields and leave the other ones blank.

There are lots of other URL hack posts, just google and you might find one specific to your case.
