Moodle

"Current role" as the label for the dropdown is extremely confusing when no role yet selected

Description

When I am assigning sitewide roles (from the admin screen I want to assign a new site administrator), or when I'm assigning a teacher for a course, the first thing I'm shown is a dropdown box with the text "Current role:" This is extremely obscure - as a user, I think, "Does this mean my personal role? The role that the other user already has? Or the role I want to assign to the other user?"

Strongly suggest changing it to something like "Role to assign:" which I think will make more sense.
