Make the request text box a required field for applications that require approval in Software Center
For applications that require an approval in Software Center, make the text box on the request screen a required field, preventing the user from submitting the request until a reason is given. Also maybe make the text box title "Reason for request" - or better yet make the title customizable per application. As it is now, we get most requests with a "blank" text box requiring us to circle back with the user to get this information prior to approving the application.

Great, this can eliminate administration work - Deny and follow up with user.

This is key in making sure a justification for requested software is included in their request.

@Chad Could you elaborate on what a real workflow is? We've done a lot of work on approvals this last year so would love to hear more on what gaps you still need addressed.
Thanks

I'd like to see a real workflow develop here as well.
