What causes a partial view to not run controller actions

Question

I have no idea what happened but suddenly the CRUD operations in my simple app no longer work. Clicking on the create button in my partial view, instead of running the controller create action, now looks for a create page instead. Not really sure what would cause this all I did was sleep.

Index

     <div class="row">
        <div class="col-lg-12">
       
                <div class="card-title">  
                     <h1>Clients</h1>
    <div id="showmodal" class="modal fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog">
        <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl" role="document">
            <div class="modal-content">
                @{
                   @await Html.PartialAsync("_CreateClient");
                }
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <button class="btn btn-success" id='open' data-toggle="modal" data-target="#showmodal">Add New Client</button>
        </div>
         </div>
         </div>

Partial View

                         <div class="modal-header">
