<!-- Button trigger modal -->

<div class="adiv">

<p id="addEventsButton">
 Click me to open the modal
</p>
    
<div class="dropdown">
  <button class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropdownMenuButton" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
    Dropdown button
  </button>
  <div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenuButton">
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
  </div>
</div>

</div>



<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal fade" id="exampleModalLong" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="exampleModalLongTitle" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLongTitle">Modal title</h5>
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
          <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
        </button>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        <input type="radio" class="new-control-input" name="marker" value="r1">
        
        <input type="radio" class="new-control-input" name="marker" value="r2">
        
        <input type="radio" class="new-control-input" name="marker" value="r3">
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
        <button type="button" id="add-e" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

The only change I made is, moved the id addEventsButton from parent div tag to p tag

    <p id="addEventsButton">
 Click me to open the modal
</p>
