How to update dataset?

Hello, I noticed what looks like an issue with the chillers.idf dataset that ships with EnergyPlus. Specifically, the Chiller:Electric:ReformulatedEIR objects should have a "curve type" input in field 10, but in both the input dataset and in the example in the documentation, that "curve type" appears in field 11:

The curve type input (which is in the 11th slot, and should be in the 10th slot) is:

LeavingCondenserWaterTemperature !- Electric Input to Cooling Output Ratio Function of Part Load Ratio Curve Type

The relevant example in docs is roughly here:

https://bigladdersoftware.com/epx/docs/8-6/input-output-reference/group-plant-equipment.html#field-heat-recovery-leaving-temperature-setpoint-node-name-2

I'm leaving the note here in hopes that someone with the credentials to do so can log the bug on the Energyplus github site or otherwise fix it. I tried but don't see any "new issue" "new pull request" or other buttons that I can click to submit the PR and bugfix myself.

The first occurrence of the issue in the input dataset is here: https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/blob/004e1072c6d8b1f4918090bf870b72b9fb7a7051/datasets/Chillers.idf#L13653

This could also just be a bug in the documentation and not the example or datasets file.
