  1. If there is a mismatch between the Provisioning (backend) switches and your goal plan xml, please reach out to Support as per knowledgebase article 2250190 - SCR Form: XML Software Change Request for Goal Plans and what is an Implementation Request in Goal Management. We can change the configuration from <allow-group-goal=false> to <allow-group-goal=true>.
