Locate the workflow editor and identify the transitions where you want assets created.
Drag and drop the [AIP] - Create Asset workflow post function after the Create Issue step and before the Update change history step.
Configure the post function
The post function has several settings to define how assets are created:
Workflow parameters

Link to issue | Set newly created asset to asset custom field. |
Target Asset custom field | Specify the custom field to link the asset. |
Asset Type | Type of asset to create. |
Attributes (optional) | Target attribute to set its value. |

Try Groovy scripts
You can immediately execute a Groovy script to see the result. This will let you write and try your own Groovy scripts faster.
Please remember that scripts will be actually executed. If you modify anything, please use test objects (issue, asset, etc.).
