Note/Comment Adding Capability on Records Page
On the Records Transcript Page there is the ability to make edits to existing fields. One feature that would be of benefit is a comments/note section where one can add a note regarding a record.
On occasion a record will contain more information than is currently recorded. Additional details could include grandparents, other relatives, and further details that may prove of benefit in finding more details regarding the family.
It is felt that by adding this feature: the overall research experience can be enhanced, doors to new discoveries become achievable, and data in records that does not conform to standard fields is then able to be taken note of.
Ancestry.com already supports something like this - its the public comments section and is accessible on any record transcript page.

My Opinion: Rather than add Notes on the record/page FamilySearch allows Notes when attaching the record to a Tree profile. There could be duplication of Noted in both places - but should not be necessary. The record transcript should contain only the contents of the record - not the conclusions of the researcher.
There are indications of profiles to which the record is connected. That will lead to the researcher Notes.
