Issue with Cowfolk arms don't animate after playing back a dragged motion

I am still learning charactor animator rigging, so I haen't been able to figure out the issue on my own, however the base puppet maker template of Cowfolk appears to have an issue with recording dragging.

recording dragging of the head records fine, but recording the dragging of the arms, despite moving on screen during the recording process, do not play back the animation.

 

See attached screen recordings.

And that's probably what's causing the problems. The triggers on some of the puppet maker puppets are so closely connected to the dragger behavior that it becomes unusable. I'm just guessing, because all I know about how those puppets are made is that the process is too complicated to be made publicly available. I don't really have an easy fix, but you could try deleting the triggers entirely and then (if necessary) go back over the rigging to make sure the arms can be animated.

With triggers armed, the characters arms can't be moved.

In the video I see you turning off the triggers. Why is that?
