Reproducing the Issue

  3. There is a checkbox for "Read-only goals":

However, users can still edit the goals, after importing, in the Development Plan.

Cause

The Read-Only feature is from the previous goal import feature and is not supported with the new import tool.

Resolution

This is the current expected system behavior and is working as designed. The "Read-only goals" options will not take any effect in the Development Goal, with the current import tool.
