Hi there

I've just run into this issue too. Any chance of it being looked at in the near future?

This issue is caused by the new component tags workflow. When enabled, it disables deformer sets which this feature relies on. The workaround is to open Preferences > Animation > Rigging and:

• disable "Use component tags for deformation component subsets"
• enable "Add tweak nodes on deformer creation"
