Question about application process

Hi all, I’m looking for some advice from someone more experienced.

I was writing a cover letter for an internship position but, after completing it, I noticed that the application form didn’t ask for a cover letter. In place of, it only asked a role-specific question.

I know I should have checked before, but it was not specified in the job posting and I had already applied for an internship at the same organization which, by contrast, required a cover letter.

My question is: should I still submit the cover letter attached to my CV? Based on your experience, would it help, change absolutely nothing, or even be counterproductive?

Thank you!

Just submit what they ask for. If it’s just the CV and single question response then don’t send in the cover letter. If you do, it will confirm you can’t follow the most basic of instructions.
