Animation Layer issues with adding multiple objects

[proofofchaos.animation]

I have been having issues for a little while now. When I would try to create animation in the new layer the keys seemed to be created on the base layer.
After a bit of investigating it seems there is an issue with adding everything that is selected to the new animlayer. I select all the controls for my rig and try to a new anim layer or "create layer from selected". Both options do not allow me to add all I have selected. It will allow me to manually add every single control separately but be very inconsistent when I grab multiple controls.

Sometimes this is an issue sometimes its not..

Some help would be very much appreciated.

Hello,

Would you be able to provide simple repro steps that clearly show the issue you are having? 

Thanks, Kelly

I also got the same issue, that I can not add multiple objects to an animation layer with Maya 2023.

As it is still possible to add controls one by one, I wrote this simple workaround script:

# get current selection and put it into list

AllObjects = cmds.ls(sl=True)

cmds.select(clear=True)

# adds every single object to "AnimLayer1"

for x in AllObjects:

cmds.select(x)

cmds.animLayer("AnimLayer1", edit= True, aso=True)
