Current Limitation
Filters only apply to top-level parent goals, leaving sub-goals unfiltered and visible regardless of criteria like status or custom fields. No workarounds exist for grouping goals while enabling filtered views of sub-goals, limiting usability for organized goal tracking.
Requested Feature
Enable filters to propagate to and hide/show expanded sub-goals based on criteria such as status, time period, or custom fields. This would allow seamless filtering across the full goal hierarchy.
I agree with the need for this feature. We have rooted our internal business planning into Asana goals through a hierarchy of top level goals and all the associated sub-goals needed to complete those higher level goals. It is confusing to continue displaying sub-goals after they have been marked as one of the Closed statuses (like “Achieved”). People inherently want to see the list getting shorter as goals are marked as Closed. A related issue is that there is no restriction on marking a goal to a Closed status if it still has open sub-goals. There should be a restriction (or at least a warning, similar to what happens with dependencies) that sub-goals need to be marked as Closed before the parent goal is marked as Closed.
Hi @Liohn_Sherer! Just wanted to share a quick update that this feature was launched a couple of months ago as part of our updates to Goals: rocket New: Grid and saved views now available in Goals! 
Thanks for requesting this update!
