How do you set a value in an asset field on create?

Question

I am trying to figure out how I can set a value to a custom assets field on Cloud.

In the example I am trying now, I want to fetch a customer from Assets by matching the Reporter. In DataCenter you can use the Assets Post function and simply set the value using object having inR("Jira user" = ${reporter.name}) in the first transition of the workflow, but since cloud does not have asset post functions, how do you do it in Cloud?

I have ScriptRunner, which I assume is the next best thing, but I am unsure how to script this with ScriptRunner...

So, anyone know how to do it and are willing to share?

I don't know how to do it in scriptrunner, but one option would be to use automation to set the asset field, something like this:

It is using the edit issue component and since you are selecting an Asset field all you have to do is enter the AQL in it to get the object.
