This is what RT-Extension-FormTools was designed to do (except it uses
the normal RT API, rather than the REST API, and runs inside RT so
that it can track who is logged in and include that information in the
ticket).  It's intended to be used in place of the normal SelfService
"Create New Ticket" links.

Unfortunately, the owner view inside RT these days is mostly limited
to that one or two column view.  There are a few extensions to move
things around, but RT-Extension-FormTools really isn't the solution
you're looking for here.

There are callbacks in place to allow you to rejigger the Custom
Fields on Modify.html or insert them into Update.html, and folks often
make a number of customizations using them.
