Missing "Goal Plan Permissions" permission with target user in target population.

This behavior is expected by design in Latest Goal Management.

To share a team goal to another user in Latest GM, the current owner should have both Goal Plan Permissions and Share Team Goals permission in RBP with target population containing the target user.

If this behavior doesn't meet the user group's needs, it is recommended to open an enhancement request so that the idea can be assessed by Product Management team:
