How to pre-set Wordpress settings for specific posts?

The WP site I am creating requires creating diff posts for diff categories.

What I like is that if someone chose to post under category A, i have a bunch of pre-set settings (tags, banner image etc) in that post.

If the person posts under category B, there will be a diff set of settings?

Does anyone know if there's a plugin that can do this? I can hack the php code if i have to but i prefer a plugin where it is easier to manage.

The closest plugin I can find is ACF.

Thanks!

Thanks. I tried the custom post type UI plugin. But I don't know how to set default categories for the post types I created.

Thanks, Cliff
