This is due to the fact the issuers, other than BC Corporate Registry have not registered a URL that would be used for this link. The issuer registrations can be found here; https://orgbook.gov.bc.ca/api/v2/issuer.

The default in this case is to have the issuing Authority link link back to the corporation to which the credential was issued.

This default behavior is a little confusing. I'm wondering if it would be better for the link to go to a generic Issuing Authority page that displays the registration information (and logo if one is registered) for the issuer. In all cases there is an email address registered for the issuers, but that information is inaccessible through the current UI.

First, I would encourage us to go back to the issuers and get the URLs and add them in. @DJ-Gordon -- is that something you can do? I assume once we have them, we can add them easily to the database?

That said, what do we do if we don't have them?

I'd suggest one of two behaviours:

I don't think it worth adding another page specifically for this situation as it encourages bad behaviour by the issuers -- not supplying the needed info.

Personally, I think I would go with no link.
