      Since the move to Moodle LMS 4+, when I am on the Dashboard, and I go to the User Menu & choose "Switch role to...", and select a different role, once selected I am then redirected to the Site Home instead of the Dashboard.

      For themes, when Site Home is removed from the primary navigation via config.php, for sites that do not use a Site Home and only a Dashboard, this user journey isn't ideal. When on the dashboard and switching role, I would expect to remain on the dashboard once the role has been switched, even if a Site Home was being used.

      I have attached a screen recording of the user journey "user-journey-screen-recording".

      Thanks!
