[severity:I'm unable to use this version] Dear Friends, After upgrade of an ASP.NET Core MVC application from .NET 7.0 to .NET 8.0, JavaScript invocations with "onclick" in Razor views no longer work. Is this behavior intended? If so, could you please refer me to an explanation in the documentation? Thank you in advance for your trouble, With best regards, Eric Weinberger

My apologies for taking so long to respond to the request for more information. The problem seems to be due to the use of "asp-append-version" in references to JavaScript files in the wwwroot folder. Contrary to some comments that others have posted in various places, this problem affects not only development, but also production. It affects other wwwroot files too, such as style sheets. It would be great if the functionality of "asp-append-version" could be restored. Until then I will be stuck with .NET 7. Thank you in advance for your trouble.
