No matter John! This is to provide more accurate information next
time the question emerges.
Don't miss Bernd's message, this another way to solve your issue.

Thank you, Pierre-Raymond. I will try to
answer your question, but it may be long delayed.

Excuse me John, I had not been clear at all. My mistake.
Mandatory is in my applications because power lines are the
ones that pose me most of the problems in logic boards. My
boards are dense, all of them are routed on component side.
And I said mandatory because of the net name change between
one side and the other of a 0-Ohm strap. In this case if I
have to route a line between an IC gnd to the gnd, jumping?
over other lines, and use a jumper, the IC side of a the
jumper must not change its gnd name and THIS IS a real problem
causing conflicts. You may ignore some of the errors but
that's quite messy for me.
Instead of naming this part as "lnk" or "strap" or "jumper",
I probably had to name it "net transfer component".
The purposes of this special part were to keep the net name,
include this component in the BOM and make the error check
happy. In addition it's identified on the electrical drawing.
Just for my information, when you have tested it, please tell
me if it still play a helpful role in the last version of
Kicad or if it's redundant with a new function that I don't
yet know. Thks.

Thank you very much.
I just want one trace on a through-hole
board to permanently 'hop over' another on the same layer.
But 'Mandatory for power lines.' worries me,
because I do want to put a hop-over in a power line (+
supply to an opamp).? Why is it mandatory and what are the
bad effects if it's not done?

Zero Ohms resistors have the drawback to create two nets.
I had similar issue some years ago with Kicad 5.20, it
didn't have any practical solution for that. So, I
cheated, creating symbol and models for keeping the same
net name on both sides of the jumper. Mandatory for power
lines.
