Adding a "requester note" in Primo for a patron when making a purchase request

There is no possibility in Primo for a patron to add a note to explain why a they would like the library to purchase an item, when making a purchase request.

However, In Alma there is a "requester note" where you can state the reason the patron has requested the item, but this cannot be done in Primo.

So I suggest adding a requesters note in Primo, so the library will have more information as to why they should purchase an item for a patron.
