How to draw dotted circle in Inkscape?
I am pretty new to graphic design world & obviously Inkscape too. I just need to draw a simple circle with dots in Inkscape. I have tried all the options in the stroke style section, but wasn't successful. I have searched online about this, but found only a workable solution here. But I think that is complicated solution to do just this simple job. Is there any other easier way to draw a simple circle with dots? I really hope there is something.
Thanks in advance.

You could use a pattern along a path effect.
Here's an example. The pattern itself was simply a small circle (shown top left), which was copied to the clip board, then applied as a pattern to a larger circle:

@tuxtu GDSE isn't really a tutorial on demand site. I have included a link at the bottom of my answer so you can find out more about the pattern along a path functionality, and also you can look up tutorials by searching that term.

In the linked answer, the responder used large circles as his object, but you can use anything created in Inkscape. It's an easy matter to resize his hula hoops to dots.

More options:
- use a stroke with a dot pattern (requires the correct ratio between the dash length and the stroke width, and also requires rounded caps): https://codepen.io/manabox/pen/wlLrh
- use the polar arrangement option of the Object > Arrange dialog: http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=31762
