Description Eric Phetteplace 2025-06-09 22:02:32 UTC
While there is a notesopac field for ILL requests, it's not shown on the patron-facing form to create an ILL request (/cgi-bin/koha/opac-illrequests.pl?op=add_form&backend=Standard) for any type of resource. Patrons can edit request notes by going to their dashboard > ILL requests > View an existing request > Notes but that is difficult to discover and an extra step for every request. We'd like patrons to be able to add notes to any request during the creation process.

I tried to work around this with OpacUserJS by adding a <textarea> with name="notesopac" but that did not work; the request is created successfully, but Koha discards the note.
