</html>The code shows a bootstrap icon within a button dropdown that triggers a click event (through the class inside-button) to clear the dropdown content.
However, the issue arises where clicking the icon also opens and closes the dropdown. The desired functionality is for the click event to only clear the content without affecting the dropdown's open/close status. How can this be achieved?
