Gerrit trigger Custom build messages

How to send a custom message to Gerrit with the Custom build messages field in the Gerrit trigger options in Jenkins?

The setting of the location is on job properties -> gerrit trigger -> advanced

I have defined a in the Build Start Message field: My custom message

I would expect to se this message in Gerrit, however no comment is shown. If i remove the custom message, il leaves the default comment for the Start message.

Should the Custom build messages be pure strings or something different?

I reinstalled the whole system after which the Custom build message field started acting as expected.

It seems the problem was that i edited the message in the global Gerrit Verified Commands before (i did however return it to default settings before trying Custom build message)

You can set the message in the global gerrit trigger settings: jenkins->manage->gerrit trigger

Then under the advanced section you can see the Gerrit Verified Commands that the gerrit trigger uses to update gerrit. This is what I see for the started event:

gerrit approve <CHANGE>,<PATCHSET> --message 'Build Started <BUILDURL> <STARTED_STATS>' --verified <VERIFIED> --code-review <CODE_REVIEW>

You should be able to change the message there.
