Hey Estela!
I'm not sure if it's expressly required or not to reindex after creating a new custom field, but in testing it in one of my instances, you are presented with a popup that recommends a reindex.
Just to be safe, it'd probably be best to perform a background reindex after creating your field.
Good luck!
