Dear Jean, 
which version og DHIS are you using?

On 2.27 you can do this with program rules. 
- The easiest way would be to make a rule that triggers a "Display text" or "Display key/value pair" to the user in case the user answers Yes on the designated data field. These texts can be shown in the "Feedback" or "Program indicators" widgets, but not in the data entry form itself. 
- It would also be possible to make a rule that assigns the value from visit 1 into a data element of visit 2. What makes this option less desirable compared to the "Display key/value" or "Display text" option above is that the assign-strategy will create a duplication of the data from visit 1 into another data element in visit 2.

Based on how your data is modelled it might be possible to achieve on older versions of dhis2 using program indicators.

Markus
