Godot: 2D Inverse Kinematics only work with the "Make Custom Bones" tool, not Bone2D nodes
"Make IK Chain" doesn't work with Bone2D nodes. Even if you have a chain of Bone2Ds, you must first select them, go to the bones menu in the toolbar and click "Make Custom Bones From Nodes".
Instead, I would expect to:
- Select a chain of Bone2D nodes
- Open the bones menu in the toolbar, click "Make IK chain"
And get an IK chain.

It's either not documented enough or the feature is really missing. Having to use either the tool or the nodes in a different manner for different purposes is confusing.

The feature is documented, it's just that's how it worked since Godot 2 and it's not been unified with the changes in the anim tools in Godot 3.1 yet

IMO, this is a bug. You _can_ "Make IK Chain" with Bone2D nodes -- and they visually show the chain was created, with the root being yellow. It simply doesn't work. Dang, I just wasted a bunch of time thinking I had done something wrong. Glad I checked here.
