Adding post function
Add "[AIP] - Create Asset workflow postfunction" to the workflows to create an asset object on transition. If the condition passesconditions pass, post function is executed for each asset separately. If an asset is removed from the asset custom field, it will be executed as well. You can control it with assetStatus context parameter. If you do want to do nothing for the removed assets you can control assetStatus == 'removed' and then return null. Please see context parameters details in this document.
Return null if you do not want to change the asset attribute value. Return empty string '' if you want to clear value.
See examples, inventory management and common classes.

Put the post function in the middle; after issue creates and before GenerateChangeHistoryFunction and Re-index post functions.
