Gerrit trackingid not working

According to this section, I have created the following entries in the gerrrit.config file:

[trackingid "jira-issue"]
    footer = Issue:
    match = "\\[PROJECT-\\d+\\]"
    system = JIRA

When I commit a new patchset (or a new change) with the following commit message, the tracking id is not created.

[PROJECT-123] My commit message

Change-Id: Ia5b58dda57ef12632075738d1301f2e143066d45

I have checked the tracking_ids table in database and it's empty. Filtering changes with tr:PROJECT-123 have no results. What can be wrong?

I have restarted Gerrit after making the configuration change. Gerrit v2.8.

Currently the tracking ID needs to go in the footer of the commit message, using the footer argument as its name. In your case:

My commit message

Change-Id: Ia5b58dda57ef12632075738d1301f2e143066d45
Issue: [PROJECT-123]

The order of the name: value pairs in the footer doesn't matter - they just must all be in one paragraph (no blank lines between items).

If it does work in the body of the commit message, then it is probably this issue: Support TrackingIds in subject as well as footer.
