How to change a dotted quarter to be a dotted quarter rest instead

Please see attached measure the first note of the measure is a dotted quarter note but when I entered it I made a mistake. I have to enter a dotter quarter rest instead. What is the best method to change to dotted quarter note to a dotted quarter rest. or I have to rewrite the complete measure.

Your help to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Select the dotted quarter note and hit Delete or Backspace.

Yes, it works
but can it be a quarter rest dotted, instead of a quarter rest and an eight rest
Even though it is the same timing Why Dorico is not able to make it a Quarter rest dotted?

Germain

Dorico can! But because it not a normal notation rule to do so, you must force it.
Select the quarter rest and hit o (the clamp icon for force duration on the left should turn blue) then . (to create the dotted rest).
