Question not available as target for 'Jump' tab under 'Go to' dropdown list

Hello, A specific data field that is already created is unavailable in the ‘Jump’ tab under ‘Go to’ dropdown list. Please see attached image of a screengrab. This is happening even after saving the project after every new list created. For example, I have already created a data field to submit an Image file. While some of the options allow the question to ‘Jump’ to the ‘Add an image file’ option, the last option, doesn’t allow to ‘Jump’ to the ‘Add an image file’. This is also happening to the first Test-based entry in the screen shot.

By design, you cannot jump to the immediate next question (it would not be a jump, technically), you need to jump at least one question.

In Epicollect5, the design principles dictate that you cannot set a jump to the immediate next question. This is because a jump, by definition, implies skipping over at least one question to reach a subsequent one. To ensure clarity and proper functionality within your survey or data collection form, any jump must bypass at least one question in between the origin and the destination.

This design choice helps maintain the logical flow and structure of your questionnaire, preventing potential confusion or redundancy that could arise from setting a jump to the very next question. By adhering to this rule, you can create more coherent and efficiently navigable surveys.
