Hello Madhusudhan,
No,You cannot jump from a step to a lower-numbered step(previous step) in an activity.

Hello Madhusudan,
As Sravanthi said you can not jump to a previous step using activity. Can you please let us know your requirement so that we can suggest you some other alternate.

Hi All,
Why cant we jump backward(from Step4 to Step2) in activity?

right now this kind of functionality is not present, though we can definitely take it as a product enhancement for the consideration of product Management team.

Hi Farook,
The backward chaining is not designed in activities, i feel may be if the user doesn't use it properly then it might lead to an infinite loop. So it might have not designed in Pega to avoid this deadlock with the infinite loops using forward and backward chain process, by the way its just my assumption and not sure about the exact reason behind it.
Alternate:By the way if you want to go back to the step 2 from step 4 then you can write another activity with the steps from 2-4 and try to call this activity based upon your condition which might serve your requirement.
Hope it answers your query.

A simple for loop becomes a very complex jumping back and forth in activity rule.
I don't see what is the benefit we can gain from activity.
