Assign Issue to Specific User Role Post Function

When the transition is executed, the issue will be assigned to a user in a specified role. It is possible to assign the issue to a random user with that project role or to a user with that role who has been the assignee of the issue before. 

Please keep in mind that if you use this post function within "Create Issue Transition", the post function should be placed right after the Creates the issue originally statement.
