html - link (a href) in bootstrap dropdown menu does not function

Question

This issue seems to be ancient and a lot of topics about it. yet none of the solutions are working for me at the moment. I have a header with the user name - which is a dropdown menu. in dropdown list i have a link which refuses to work:

                   <div class="dropdown dib">
                        <div class="header-icon" data-toggle="dropdown">
                            <span class="user-avatar">{{ user }}
                                <i class="ti-angle-down f-s-10"></i>
                            </span>
                            <div class="drop-down dropdown-profile dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right">
                                <div class="dropdown-content-body">
                                    <ul>
                                        <li>
                                            <a data-target="/accounts/logout/" href="/accounts/logout/">
                                                <i class="ti-power-off"></i>
                                                Logout
                                            </a>
                                        </li>
                                    </ul>
                                </div>
                            </div>
                        </div>
                    </div>

Following scripts have been imported:

    <!-- jquery -->
    <script src="{% static 'assets/js/lib/jquery.min.js' %}"></script>
    <script src="{% static 'assets/js/lib/jquery.nanoscroller.min.js' %}"></script>
    <!-- nano scroller -->
    <script src="{% static 'assets/js/lib/menubar/sidebar.js' %}"></script>
    <script src="{% static 'assets/js/lib/preloader/pace.min.js' %}"></script>
    <!-- sidebar -->

    <script src="{% static 'assets/js/lib/bootstrap.bundle.min.js' %}"></script>
    <script src="{% static 'assets/js/scripts.js' %}"></script>

this is bootstrap v4.3.1 in 2020 and bootstrap.bundle is supposed to include popper.js these static imports are related to django, so don't worry they are correct!

According to other similar posts, using the data-target attribute on the href should solve the non-functioning link... but it doesn't.

What i might be missing?
