Adding post function
Add "[AIP] - Create Asset workflow postfunction" to the workflows to create an asset object on transition. If the conditions pass, post function will create an asset and optionally attaches to the current issue.
Put the post function in the middle; after issue creates and before "Update change history for an issue and store the issue in the database." .
