I wonder if it is possible to have a GOTO {jump to, skip, or transport, or …} transform (I know, spaghetti coding is not a good practice), but on some occasions (specially IF related) it is easy to get results if there is a way to skip some part and goto directly to another part or transforms…just wondering

No! GOTO doesn’t really exist in any modern language because it makes the logic very hard to understand and debug. Also it doesn’t really fit with the dataflow (rather than control flow) approach of Easy Data Transform. I am not ruling out adding some sort of conditional branching one day, but there are a lot of things we want to do before we are likely to consider that.
still wondering if could be possible to have ‘executional’ transforms as part of the IF transform…
I think GOTO type behaviour is likely to cause more problems than it solves and it also adds a lot of complexity. There are 100 other things we think it would be better to add.
However you could try using Verify as a sort of conditional. Create multiple branches and set the ones that don’t meet your conditions to stop with an error.
Perhaps you could give us a real world example of what you are trying to do?
