The Copy Global Transforms Addon does not apply global transformations once there is a Child of Constraint active on the selected bone. In 3.6 the paste operator in Copy Global Transforms does not paste the Global transforms buts still sets a keyframe, however in 4.0 and above it errors out (see error message below).

Steps to reproduce the Copy Global Transforms issue:

Enable the Copy Global Transforms addon
Open the N panel and go to the Animation Tab, then expand the Global Transforms menu
Select the AutoRigPro armature in the viewport named rig and go into pose mode
go to the first frame, select the foot control and use the Copy operator.
Go to the last frame and use the Paste operator.

Repeat steps 3-5 using the Armature in the Simplified Rig collection.

Selection to Cursor operator ignores global transforms when used on a bone that has a Child of Constraint active #117076

Thanks for the report. Could you perhaps take some time to minimize the example blend file? It now contains a full rig, with custom bone shapes and a whole bunch of hidden layers. The title of this report suggests that it's only about the Child Of constraint. A simple example that has only a few bones will help me a lot trying to figure out what's going on exactly.

Update: having said that, I don't think the error shown is caused by the Child Of constraint. It seems to be an issue with the auto-keying code of that add-on. I'll fix that first.

I've fixed the keyframe_insert() error (c2caf1f3f5). Please check with tomorrow's daily build of 4.1.0 (alpha) to see if your issue was fixed.

Update, the error no longer shows up! The paste however still doesn't copy the global transformations. Here's a simplified test file:

This is a limitation of the add-on. It just adjusts the bone's loc/rot/scale properties so that it matches the global transform. This doesn't take any constraints into account. You'll see that, when you disable the Child Of constraint, the bone is exactly at the spot that you copied.

As this is not seen as a bug, just a limitation, I'll close this report.

Do know that I'm working on a different way to do this copy-pasting, that should work with any offsetting constraint as well. It'll take a while to get production-ready though.
