Abstract: We study the construction of the so-called intrinsic action for PDEs equipped with compatible presymplectic structures. In particular, we explicitly demonstrate that the intrinsic action for the standard Einstein-Hilbert gravity is the familiar first-order Palatini action. Our main focus in this work is the massive spin-2 field, where the natural presymplectic structure is not complete in the sense that the associated intrinsic action does not reproduce all the equations of motion. We explicitly relate this feature to the differential consequences of the zeroth order in the genuine Lagrangian formulation of Fierz and Pauli. Moreover, a minimal multisymplectic extension of the intrinsic action that produces all the equations of motion is constructed and it is argued that systems of this type can be naturally regarded as multidimensional analogs of mechanical systems with constraints. Finally, we extend the considerations to the massive spin-3 field and argue that the extension to all the massive higher spins should be straightforward as well.
