Auto Skip Navigation
When a DCM question is defined with the auto skip property enabled, the cursor automatically moves to the next field as soon as the field is filled to its maximum defined length.
By design then, a field with auto skip enabled will not accept data greater than the defined length. You can toggle this behavior on or off with a user preference. When disabled, an auto skip field behaves like a normal field and accepts the entry of data of any length, creating a discrepancy for lengths exceeding the maximum length. Auto skip is available only on fields with a length of 20 or fewer characters.
