Blender 2.81 library overrides and pose libraries

Does anyone have insight into good ways to use the new library overrides alongside pose libraries?

It doesn't seem like I can add pose libraries to an armature override like I can with a proxy, which kinda makes the whole library override thing kinda useless for characters at the moment, doesn't it? Am I missing something obvious here?

    I haven't tested pose libraries yet, but I will put it on my list of things to test.

    I've found a few issues with it so far which I am trying to simplify and report as a bug, so everyone else can benefit for the fixes.


    You are the kind of person that does the same thing right, kkillarny?

    Of course you are ;)

    haha, yeah reporting bugs is awesome, and I'll do that but I wanted to get some feedback and make sure I'm not misusing it first!

    I know sometimes it's confusing that some of the pose library features (like adding a new library or pose) are intentionally disabled when you are not in pose mode. So I went back and did some further testing on library overrides, and it doesn't matter what mode I'm in, I can't seem to add a new pose library to the overridden armature.

    That sounds like a bug or a 'feature that hasn't been implemented yet'.

    Not too sure.  Devtalk might be the best place for that question.
