Using Motion Data inside Story (creating drag and drop MoData)

#1

MB 7.5

I used a character template I created and then brought in some (AMC) motion data and characterized it in Tpose.

I set the character in Navigator to Contorl Rig output (active)
I clicked on Plot Character.
I saved the File using File Save.

I then opened up Character Controls and saved the animation using File>save animation (in character control dropdown).

I started a new session and brought in my skinned characterized Tpose model inside MB
Under Character Control I set it to Active and Control Rig Input

I opened up Story and dragged the saved animation file into the character track.

My character snaps into position and the motion is applied.
BUT, only the motion for the upper body gets applied. NO leg motion or position motion for the character will occur.

**
If I drag the saved animation file or main saved file into the viewer and choose merge all takes and then set the Character Controls to Character Input, the character works as expected.

So my question is

How do I create and save my motion data to make it applicable to drag and drop into Story? Or more precise,
How do I save my converted AMC data (plotted to MB template) so that it can be used like any of the standard Motion files provided with MB ?
I’d appreciate someone pointing out where I am going wrong with this. I feel I am once again missing a simple step. Yet, I keep trying different methods of saving and can’t figure it out.

edit> I found the resolution
