I found this post
Anyone had this issue of appending or linking in a rig and the custom handle names are gone?! Its just blank. Works fine in the original file but not once that file is appended/linked into another or new scene.
[customhandles]
Usually the name is there but if you enter edit mode and back out its gone.
I met this problem today.
I think this is a bug in first time.
But i have two different character model.
I tested the two files separately.
I create a new blend file append Name “A” character model then i save this file and close this file.
Then i reopen the file, it custom handles entries on bendy bones can work well no disappear.
But Name “B” character model i do same,then i reopen file it custom handles entries on bendy bones disappearing…
Now i am confused that I have a mistake when I am rig or is this a bug?
And this Name “B” character model file I can’t share publicly…
Can someone give me some advice why custom handles entries on bendy bones disappearing…???

oh right thats pretty recent. Yeah i ask because my issue was fixed when i upgraded from an old 2.80 version.
I did notice that there was a difference if i added the custom handles in edit mode vs pose mode. From memory i think adding it in edit mode stuck. While adding in pose mode didnt. But im pretty sure they fixed this…
Strip out everything but the armature. Surely you can share that.
