NOTES:

Enabling this option will not reflect in live forms, new form must be launched to see the changes.

To see and use this button, users need to have the create permission for goals in the goal plan template.

The button is not needed if goals are synced to the form automatically.

Only goals from the assiciated goal plan can be added --> Currently it is not possible to select a goal plan from a list and then add goals from a different goal plan
