Workflow property to allow reporter to assign in Create transition only

Question

For the project's permission scheme, I can allow the Reporter to assign issues to the assignable list but I want to limit it to the Create transition only.  Using workflow properties on the Create transition, I tried a variety of scenarios for

jira.permission.assign.user.1 to REPORTER  or CURRENT_USER

but it didn't work.  Suggestions?

I'm peeling this properties onion and it's making me cry.  I'm looking at jtricks workflow properties page and documented lines like
      - type - type of permission granted/denied. The values can be group, user, assignee, reporter, lead, userCF, projectrole
   or 
     - jira.permission.comment.denied=

I'll get over it.   So at the project level permissions scheme, I'll add reporter to the "Assign Issues" permission. That I understand.  What would be the actual property syntax on the Create transition(action) to activate only the "reporter" permission from the project level scheme?

Sorry if I got you confused. There are 2 things.

1. You cannot grant new permissions. The permissions has to be there via project permissions
2. In the available permissions, you cannot deny anyone. But you can restrict it to selected groups/roles etc.

In short, you can grant permissions to a subset of already available permissions. (And that, in a way, denies the permission to the remaining).

In your case, you cannot deny reporter alone because there is no group/role that restricts the permission to everyone but reporter. On the other hand, if you wanted to restrict the permission just to the repoter, you could have done that.

I'm confused.  Your 1st reply had me granting the Reporter "Assign Issue" permission at the project permissions scheme level and then deny him.  Your 2nd response had me adding the reporter.  I appreciate the help but which is it?
