A possible cause that the custom fields are not being updated only when you create an issue it can be that we are not getting informed by your instance when an issue is created. A cause of it can be that the workflow transition that is responsible for issue create is firing and Issue Create event is not in the post functions of this transition as shown in the screenshot.
