Is there a way to assign an issue to the Project Lead in a workflow transition?

There are three "assignment" types of Post functions out of box: assign to current user, lead developer and reporter. There is no option to assign to Project Lead.

I also tried to add a Proj Lead custom field hoping we can update the field using Update Issue Field post function. However, it seems only the system fields show up as the available fields for update.

Any plugin out there that would allow an issue to be auto-assigned to Project Lead during a workflow transition?

I think you can do this using the Misc Workflow Extensions plugin. There's a post function in the list that says:

Assign to Lead Developer

Assigns the issue to the component lead (if one exists) or project lead.

The one issue I can see is that you may run into a problem if there ia component lead exists, but it's worth testing I think. Maybe someone knows of another post function that does this purely or perhaps you can modify it to just assign to a project lead.
