1) Provide a script that makes this change.

2) Give it the necessary permissions

3) Use the "proxy" feature to allow the script to run with
its own permissions when called (look at the tabs available
on the script editing view)

4) Call this script from the
"action" on your release form.

Cheers,
Terry
