The Responder's 2nd bid after a 2/1 response

Responder's 2nd bid after a 2/1 response.
By the time Responder's gets a 2nd bid the camp may already have agreed upon a trump suit... If it is not the case then the priorities are:
    1- to agree on a trump suit by showing a fit in opener's 1st or 2nd suit
    2- to find out If opener has a 6 carder
    3-to try a NT contract with a stopper in the unbid suit
    4-The last resort is to bid a 4th suit forcing if none of the above is appropriate ...

There’s no need to jump, since the partnership is already forced to game.
