Research direction

Start by reproducing the landing-page behavior for Caswell County, NC and Clay County, NC, then trace how the APPLY NOW button and default application are generated. Check how the presence of an email address affects the default application, and verify that counties without an online application receive a working default-application button while counties with one retain the correct behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

For counties without their own online application, we need the landing page to automatically include a button with our default application. Counties are filling this out but where the APPLY NOW thing is blank, we need to send them to our default application. Is that only generated if they put down an email address (i.e. somewhere for the default application to be sent)? Check out Caswell County, NC. Other times, it's generating an APPLY NOW button even though the field for the online application is blank and then it doesn't generate the default application when you click on the APPLY NOW button. See, e.g., Clay County, NC.
