User does not have permission to modify the goal status

• Option 1: Have a user with write permission, for the goal plan state, mark the goal as complete
• Option 2: Under the respective obj-plan-state id="X", users must have the write permission for field-definition id="state" in order to modify goals in their goal plans. The permission needs to be updated in the Goal Plan XML, and this can only be modified via Provisioning. 
  • As a customer, you do not have access to Provisioning. Please engage your Certified Partner or Product Support to implement the fix.
  • If you do not have a certified partner, please use the process outlined in 2250190 - SCR Form: XML Software Change Request for Goal Plans.
