Please, see this thread :

[unwanted tied notes](https://forums.steinberg.net/t/note-grouping-question/947225/12)

Logically, if you are setting correctly the Notation Options \> Notes grouping, you would not have to use the “force duration” command.  
In relation to the above linked thread, it seems that the last update (5.1.7) fixed the bug discussed there.
