This refers to the "(Create)" links in the Links box.  Clicking on that
creates a new ticket, linked via whichever linking method you chose.  It
also picks up many properties of the original ticket, including custom
fields[1].  Select-multiple CFs failed to get transferred correctly;
that is what the release note refers to.

[1] It also copies over Time Worked, which is often considered a bug.
For backwards-compatibility, we've not changed this yet, but there's a
branch to fix that for 4.4.
