There is a test case you can follow. This might be a good Quick Doc candidate.

There are a couple of bugs that can result in confusion:

Custom partitioning, when adding additional mount points on Btrfs,
size field should be hidden
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1874551

Custom part: partition type (standard, btrfs, lvm, etc) can't be
specified when creating a new partition, preventing specific use cases
