For this you could use either user notes as suggested above, or another custom user field where you could just type in whatever you wanted. Or, if the process is predictable, you could have another dropdown with stuff like

  • contacted user/waiting for reply
  • approved
  • denied

So I think that might be all you need and you can recategorize as Support?
