How do I create a dashed line between two notes of the same pitch?

Hi, can someone guide me as to create a dashed line between two notes of the same pitch? It looks like a tie but it isn’t, apparently it’s a guide to the musician to keep their finger in position to make playing easier. I don’t know the name for this type of marking. Please see the last line of the example notation attached. Thanks all.

You can use a slur and select the style in the lower zone.

You can use Slurs (Dashed) as Jesele suggests or Ties (Dashed). Slurs would also appear in the Tab system:

Dashed Slurs:

Dashed Ties:

Thanks guys. Dashed slurs seem to be the best option as the notes are not tied and therefore need to be played. Thanks again.
