Description
Hi!
First thanks for super-excellent-module!!! :D I found there's critical feature missing, meaning that when user register his account and he can apply for role, there isn't any textfield where he can write application for applying role! Textfield is also good in user account applying form.
Then administer can read application and decide from that if user can have the role. Without application, it's in some cases difficult to decide if user is worth of role...

I think that this would be a great feature. For my site, members of the "organization" could add their membership number when registering. This could be checked against a database before enabling the "member" role.

Given the varied requirements of different websites, would a generic textfield be enough? I would argue that some would require checkboxes for acknowledgments of agreements while some may need URL submissions. I hope I'm not off topic here but integration with webforms would seem to be best.

This is a duplicate to #318682: attach CCK type to application.

Just commented on #318682: attach CCK type to application ... this isn't really a duplicate... what I said over there was CCK fields don't apply here, because no nodes are being created.
My opinion is that a simple textfield should be a part of this module.
Additional form field types should be handled by an existing framework like webform.module, since there are many aspects of adding that functionality that could all be handled by webform.
I plan on writing a module that links webform.module and apply_for_role.module for a project I am working on, but I do think that a simple textfield in apply_for_role.module would be a nice simple addition, and would only take another column in the database table.

Ok, from a technical standpoint you are right about this issue not being a duplicate.
Anyways I would be more than glad if your solution (which is a very sound idea) works. If you contribute your module I would definetly use it. Mark me as a tester.

Yes, I too just came across this need, of a text field justification for the role. I know that my client is going to ask for this feature, even before they see the demo of the site.
If I code it up for my site, I will see about submitting a patch.
