Scheduled workflows on existing SOs can be tricky. Check if the custom form field is editable in the current SO status; some fields lock once orders hit pending fulfillment.
Also verify your workflow conditions are finding the right records and the user context has edit permissions on those fields. Sometimes validation scripts or approval workflows block the update even when the workflow runs.

What is the criteria for setting the form? Is it something that can be done with an event based workflow instead of a scheduled?

yeah i figured it out, using a event based rather than scheduled. I put it on view and update and just do a quick internal ID update (no change) to trigger it. and it worked
