There is no chance in the current version of Mp3tag.

I have made a proposal to workaround ...  
[Genre - Standard (Vorgaben) ändern](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/10780/2)

In your case ...  
... use an action to fill the tag field "MEDIA FORMAT" with the list of options ...

#Vinyl

#CD  
#DVD  
#Cassette  
#Mp3

 

... and display this list in an edit field in the tag panel.  
When editing this field remove the leading character # from the option to be selected,  
save the file,  
then run an action to remove the other options having the leading character #.

If the pick list has not so much items, then you can also use pre-set actions.  
For example ...

Create actions setting the various field values, then select to one (or more) to apply to the selected files.
