In the code sample it replaces the hard-coded "PostTodoItem" action name using nameof; however, when created following this guide, it is generated with "GetTodoItem" instead and should probably use that in the example page. Using the GetTodoItem action returns the correct url path to get the record while using PostTodoItem action returns the id in a query string, and using that url as a GET request will call the GetAll action

Verified return for PostTodoItem is using nameof(GetTodoItem) in current update.
