Push Requests to ILLiad should include comments in the resource sharing request.
Referring to the new feature in Alma Nov (2019) release, the new feature for pushing resource sharing request to ILLiad via API lacks some important features to make it useful.
Most importantly, comments in the Resource Sharing request did not pass over to ILLiad. This feature exists when using email to push request to ILLiad. It's missing when using API.
I would hope you could improve using API to push requests to ILLiad and make it feature parity using email method.
Aso of the May 2022 release, the request note is also sent to ILLiad when a borowing request is exported. See 'ILLiad Borrowing Request Notes' on https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Release_Notes/2022/Alma_2022_Release_Notes?mon=202205BASE

This is an very important and helpful feature. Since it can be done via email exporting already, an update to make it available via API push seems like a low hanging fruit. Please help!

This new feature is great. I want to implement something like this on https://admission-writer.com/blog/penn-state-essay-writing my website. I hope it's possible to do that.

Exporting request notes from Alma to ILLiad would be incredibly helpful. These notes often contain information that's essential to filling requests, and passing those notes to ILLiad would help alleviate some workflow issues.
