Viewport Display Error While Linking

When I try to link the rigs to another file, most of the controllers are greyed out, and don't highlight when I click on them. I can still use the rig, but the controllers aren't displaying the way they do if I just open the original file. I'm using Blender 2.83.1 on Windows, and I've enabled the included script.

UPDATE: Problem solved. When you link a character, it has to be [Robot name]_rig.001, not just [Robot name].

    I'm not exactly sure why that name change with the .001 would make it work.

    That sounds like it could be a bug (with Blender)

    Another solution I've found works is to click Object>Relations>Make Library Override. This works if I link the main collections (ie RIVET, STOMP or TORQUE).
