smrt | Python package to control TP

I am running ASP.Net MVC 5 in .NET Framework 4.8. I keep getting 404 error due to inconsistently generated URLs. For example, in my _PageNav.chstml partial that is included at the top of each page I the following to take the user back to the home page: @Url.Action("Index", new { controller = "Home" }). In the navigation bar this resolves to and functions properly.

When I use the same @Url.Action("Index", new { controller = "Home" }) on the same page, but later in on a button, it resolves to this: Done

Because of this inconsistency I often have issues where AJAX JavaScript references to the controllers end up with missing controller references such as /create resulting in https://localhost:44337/create instead of https://localhost:44337/home/create or /home/create resulting in https://localhost:44337/home/home/create instead of https://localhost:44337/home/create

I do have also have some limitations because of security restrictions; for example I cannot have any JavaScript on the page itself so I can't write razor code in my .cshtml files that will result in JavaScript. I can only use JavaScript referenced in source files for the page.
