What can prevent the progress slider from appearing for a goal?

The progress slider for a goal may not appear if the goal has targets defined. When targets are set for a goal, it indicates that the goal is quantifiable and outcomes are measured against those targets. In such cases, the system may choose not to display a generic progress slider that implies ongoing progress without predefined benchmarks. This design helps clarify the goal's measurement against specific, established targets rather than providing a visual indicator of progress that may not accurately represent the goal's current status.

Other options relate more directly to the state of the goal or its classification, but they do not specifically prevent the progress slider from being displayed in the same way that having defined targets does. Therefore, having targets defined is a clear reason for the absence of the progress slider, emphasizing how the goal's measurement structure influences its visual representation.
