MySql update trigger works sporatically

I have mysql v5.x installed on a windows webserver. I have 4 fields that have to be updated based on changes to 4 different fields:

status - status_date
priortity - priority_date
analysis notes - analysis_note_date
assigned_user_id - assigned_date

As an example, when status is changed, it should update the status_date field.

All fields except analysis_notes are varchar(100) and they are rendered as dropdowns.

The analysis_note field is a text field. This is one that does work all the time. Sometimes it updates, sometimes it doesnt.

I am posting my scripts in hopes of someone finding a solution.

create trigger t_u_dates
before update
on cases
for each row
begin
IF (NEW.status <> OLD.status) THEN
SET NEW.status_date = Now();
ELSE
SET NEW.status_date = OLD.status_date;
END IF;

IF (NEW.priority <> OLD.priority) THEN
SET NEW.priority_date = Now();
ELSE
SET NEW.priority_date = OLD.priority_date;
END IF;

IF (NEW.assigned_user_id <> OLD.assigned_user_id) THEN
SET NEW.assigned_date = Now();
ELSE
SET NEW.assigned_date = OLD.assigned_date;
END IF;

IF (OLD.analysis_notes <> NEW.analysis_notes) THEN
SET NEW.analysis_note_date = Now();
ELSE
SET NEW.analysis_note_date = OLD.analysis_note_date;
END IF;

end;//
