To add a new field the best way to do it is create a new, parallel, tx format where fields are committed by merkle radix tree in an extensible and provable way. You'd then commit to that tree with a mandatory OP_RETURN output in the last txout, or with a new merkle root.

Changing the tx format itself in a hard-fork is needlessly disruptive, and in this case, wastes opportunities for improvement.
