--- Comment #1 from Pedro Amorim <[email protected]> ---
The ILL requests additional fields (usually refered to as ILL request
attributes or illrequestattributes) is similar to, but not exactly the same as,
the additional fields implemented specifically for other supporting tables.

I believe ILL request attributes were designed the way they are because
different ILL backends may require different attributes and there is no way for
Koha core to know or consider all of those.
Whereas for additional fields, these are specifically configured on the Staff
UI, and only those are will be considered/displayed on their respective forms.

My understanding of the original design is that it was meant to consider this
possibility (any arbitrary key->value pair), and each backend would implement
its own create form, listing whatever specific attributes it may need.

I'm not saying there isn't work to be done here, I want only to clarify that
additional fields and ILL request attributes are sadly not exactly a 1:1.
