The user configuration known as "selected fields" is located in $SPLUNK_HOME/splunk/etc/users//user-prefs/local/ui-prefs.conf and is modifiable by interface.
Users can change the default user-prefs.conf file that you set.

The choice is

fields = ["host","source","sourcetype"] in display.events.fields
