It will not be required for every record; only when the user alters a table's preferences (triggering the definition of preferences for that table in the user preferences form) will this be an issue. In my opinion, whether this is a bug or not is debatable, in which cases BMC typically opts that it is not a defect and requires an enhancement. As for turning that feature off, you can remove the table labels for giving the user the option to define preferences for a table field by removing the table label for 'Preferences'.
