You cannot redirect to another action Method without changing the return type. In your scenario, you will have to change the return type to "ActionResult" and set your return type in fuction declaration to "IActionResult".

You cannot return a redirect response from your Create action method without changing the current return type!

Change the return type to ActionResult and then you can use the RedirectToAction method to return a RedirectResponse.

RedirectResult and JsonResult, both inherits from ActionResult class

public async Task<ActionResult> Create(string name)
{
    return RedirectToAction("Index", new { isUpdate = true });
}

public IActionResult Index(bool isUpdate)
{
    return View();
}
