Leaving this as draft but opening for @Birkbjo and @dhis2/platform-frontend to take a look |

The downside of this fix is that it does not work in a "standalone" environment (like the netlify preview...) |

Thanks @KaiVandivier for fixing standalone builds! Looks like there's an issue with patch-package though https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/heegfa4utkkvp397xet8r/Screenshot-2025-04-14-at-16.18.04.png?rlkey=cvaktbn9zpzh7vh0j0qrmcq87&dl=0 |

DHIS2-19412
Specifying a base in html (
<base href="__DHIS2_APP_BASE_URL__/" />) allows native anchor links with hash targets to always link to the base with hash appended (see MDN docs here).Unfortunately, there is also a bug in
react-routerhere which checks for a specifiedbase.hrefattribute but then useswindow.location.hrefinstead ofbase.hrefordocument.baseURI(see here) as the base location for anchor links created with the<Link>component. This change patches that bug, which we should also open as a PR against the upstream library.Note that this may cause a full refresh in the case where
?redirect=falseis set by the global shell - a separate change in the global shell should be able to prevent this.
