Upgrade user role

I have a simple need, and help would be greatly appreciated.

How do I make it so that when a form is submitted, then the current logged in users role is set. (this form will only be visible to logged in users).

No conditions, I am just trying to make it so when the form is submitted the users role automatically changes.

I’m not a programmer and I have no idea of PHP. I’m reaching out to see if there is a simple way to do this.

I do have a plugin installed which allows me to run javascript at form submission, but that’s client side, not sure it helps.

Hi
I am giving you an just idea and hope that help you.
You need to get postdata after form submit.
Add this code in your active child theme.

add_action( 'wpcf7_mail_sent', 'ahir_wpcf7_mail_sent_function' ); 
function ahir_wpcf7_mail_sent_function( $contact_form ) {
    $title = $contact_form->title;
    $submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();  
    if ( $submission ) {
        $posted_data = $submission->get_posted_data();
    }   
   // with specific form tilte    
   if ( 'Reagistation' == $title ) {
        $role = strtolower($posted_data['role']);
        $user = wp_get_current_user();
        $user_id =  $user->ID;
          $u = new WP_User( $user_id );
        // Replace the current role with 'manager' role
	 $u->set_role( 'manager' );
 }
}

Not tested but this way you can do something like you want.

Thanks
Ahir
