MVC Core 5 Redirect user to View in Area after login

Question

I have a login page which is outside Area and after successful login I want to redirect the user to a View inside Area.

I tried below code but it didn't work.

return RedirectToAction("Dashboard", "Home", new { Area = "StaffAug"});  
return RedirectToAction("Dashboard", "StaffAug/Home");

it's redirecting to Home/Dashboard?area=StaffAug instead of StaffAug/Home/Dashboard

[Area("StaffAug")] 
public class HomeController : Controller 
{ 
 private readonly ILogger<HomeController> _logger; 
 public HomeController(ILogger<HomeController> logger) { _logger = logger; } 
 public IActionResult Dashboard() { return View(); } 
}

Be sure add area route to Startup.cs:

app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
    endpoints.MapControllerRoute(
        name: "MyArea",
        pattern: "{area:exists}/{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");

    endpoints.MapControllerRoute(
        name: "default",
        pattern: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});
