ERROR: Failed to insert changelog into the environment: c != java.lang.String

I built with mvn verify, installed the plugin using the "advanced" tab of the plugin manager.

The build runs, but the consoletext shows:

ERROR: Failed to insert changelog into the environment: c != java.lang.String

I'm using Jenkins 2.89.4, and my project uses the "Gerrit Repo" SCM plugin

My entry format was (2 lines):

%4$tc %1$s
(%2$s) %3$s

My item format was:

%s %s

My date format was blank

[samliddicott]

The problem was with the tc format for date, so instead I moved to use %s for the date, and filled in a date format.

So although %tc appeared to work in the configuration screen, showing a good date, it fails at runtime.

Hmmm, but the actual date is showing up like this now:

SCM_CHANGELOG=1969-12-31 at 15:59:59 PST........

It seems that although placeholder indexes like %2$s work in the configuration, they don't work at runtime.
