What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/creating-an-issue#creating-an-issue-from-a-url-query

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

This article does not mention that query parameters will work on custom fields in issue templates, however, in testing I found that this is possible.

This issue is requesting to add that query parameters will work with custom fields in issue templates and limitations (if any)

This supports the use case of auto-populating data from external sources to custom fields in issue tempaltes.

Example template with test parameter filling a custom field for reference: https://github.com/EddieHubCommunity/LinkFree/issues/new?assignees=&labels=testimonial&template=testimonial.yml&title=New+Testimonial&name=Amanda+Test
