Can the PayPal.me URL be modified to pre-fill the "Note" field?

I like the simplicity of the paypal.me url, however when people complete the transaction from the link, they often overlook the "Note" field, often leading to confusion about who sent the funds and why. When sending the link if I could just add some coding to the end of the link I think this would be a huge improvement. Venmo forces a reason, even if it is stupid or not relevant.
If I could write: [PayPal.Me/xxxxxx/350#beachfrontpptyinAZ] (or whatever the relevant code is) that would be awesome. Does such a code exist? If not would PayPal be so kind as to promptly put that feature into existence?

Yes. The url should be paypal.me/yourusername/amount
for example "paypal.me/user/50" this will bring up a payment form with $50 already typed into the amount field.

how do you go about changing the link? I can't figure that out so I can add the amount to the link.

Yes you can..
To pre-fill amount, use > paypal.me/YOURNAME/{amount}
This will pre-fill your profile with {amount}
If you want to pre-select Currency, use > paypal.me/YOURNAME/{amount}{currency}
For example, paypal.me/YOURNAME/50INR
This will pre-fill your profile with {amount} = 50 and currency will be selected to INR
