Capture Current User's role in formula text field?

Hello QB Community, Has anyone devised a way to capture the current user's role in a formula field? I currently use form rules to discern a user's role, but I have to create a form rule for ever...

There is a variable within the HTML of the page, so if you can use JavaScript you can get the role ID and then go from there.

It is stored in the page as gReqUserRoleID. You can get the roleID's from the role page and go from there.  I would just grab the value, do a case statement, then return what you need in the formula field
