Any post-functions placed after the "Creates issue originally" function will not have updates to the issue persisted to the database.
For this to work, it is required that your post-function comes before the "Creates the issue originally" post-function in the order of postfunctions as shown below.
Cause#2
Resolution#1
Re-order the post-functions such that the new post-function comes before the "Creates the issue originally" post-function.
( hovering over the post-functions would expose arrow shaped icons that you can use to change the order of the post-functions)
Resolution#2
Modify the custom field value in PostFunction with a user that exists and is active in JIRA
