Select the note (or rest in this case) and double click the clef.

I did that, I mean I've clicked once on the rest so it got highlighted (in blue since it's voice 1) than I've double-clicked on the clef. Nothing happened.
I've even tried by right-clicking on the rest, select "copy" then right-clicked on the clef and selected "swap with clipboard", and nothing happened.
Delete that clef first. Click the first note of the next measure, or the next measure as a whole (there's a subtle difference between those 2 methods and I'm not sure which is which), then double click the clef on the palette

Thanks. Yes, indeed that I knew.
So I've managed to insert it as the first element of next measure, but not as last item of original measure.

As Jojo mentioned, select the next measure as a whole (the measure after where you want the clef to be—you will see a range selection), then emplace the desired clef. It may be better to not think of it as 'the last item of the previous measure', but rather as a courtesy for the next, since this is exactly how it appears if you were have a new system between measures.

That's why I mentioned 2 methods, you'd need to try both ;-)
I've just checked now (wasn't at my computer before): indeed selecting the 1st note/rest and applying a clef is different to applying it to the measure, you want the latter

Wonderful! Counter-intuitive but effective. Thanks.

On the side (: It might not be intuitive, but it is logical. A clef goes behind the time-slot of a [note/rest] when a [note/rest] is selected. Otherwise, a clef goes behind the [measure] when a [measure] is selected. Happy noting.
