Resolution

CPM has adopted the new Create Goal popup so the comment field will not be display there anymore. The Goal comment will be only available in the goal details page.

Workaround: Remove comment type field section from the Default Goal Plan. As a customer, you do not have access to Provisioning. Please engage a Certified Partner to assist with this configuration.
