'external_link" does not work for project

[jrwrigh]

Describe the bug

I've specified the external_link: [URL] in the front matter of a project. The link of the project on the "Projects" page goes to the local project details page instead of the external_link specified. The external_link instead is put on a "Go to Project Site" button on the projects detail page.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add external_link to front matter of project (project name here is csv2cash:
2. Save file and launch local hugo server
3. Go to browser and navigate to "Projects" page on localhost
4. Hovering over project name reveals internal project details page link:
5. Clicking said link brings up the project details page, where external_link is turned into the "Go to Project Site" button:

Expected behavior

Expect the project name on the "Projects" page to link to the external_link.

Hi everybody, I have a similar problem. When I click on the project title and project picture in the main page, I get redirected to the home page instead of the external link which I have provided in the 'index.md' file in the project folder. I am using Academic version: 5.0. Web browser: Chrome. The directory (layouts/_default/list.html) doesn't exist for me. Even if I create such a directory and add this file, the problem is not solved. I would really appreciate if you can help with this me!
