NetBox version

v.3.3-Beta2

Python version

3.10

Steps to Reproduce

1.) Create a Device A with an Interface X
2.) Create a Device B with 16 Rear & 16 Front Ports connected to each other on a 1:1 basis, like a patch panel.
3.) Connect Interface X from Device A with both Rear Ports of Device B
4.) Create Device C with each one Interface
5.) Connect Device C with Front Port 1 of Device B
6.) Trace the connection from Interface X on Device A

Expected Behavior

The "Path Split!" warning should appear.
All front ports should be listed.
Front Port 1 should be displayed with a link to the trace of the front port as well as the cable connected to the front port.

Observed Behavior

The "Path Split!" warning appears.
Only Front Port 16 gets listed.

@jahknem commented on GitHub (Aug 6, 2022):

Also it would be really nice if both the continuing paths could be shown instead of having to choose a node to continue (as is currently the case with the release version). As that is not part of the bug report I instead wrote it as a comment here :)
