I am interested in learning you distinction between

Reason For Encounter
Patient Request
Subjective (= History of Present Complaint)

Grouping-wise GNUmed considers the RFE/Patient Request to be
of "Subjective" type.

Currently, GNUmed (GUI-wise) treats Patient Request as just
another type of "History of Present Complaint" which is an
unfortunate left-over from the early implementation.

It should (and will) treat Patient Request as another term
for RFE. GUI wise that field will then need to be restricted
to 1 line and be presented at the top *across* all episodes
being worked on. It will then by default be used for RFE.

Currently, if you want to sensible document the Patient
Request just put it into the RFE field of the *encounter*.
It's a bit unwieldy but you get the idea.
