Inserting time signature

Piece in 4/4. All music entered. Then want to insert a measure of 2/4. By doing that, it changes all subsequent bars to 2/4. Please advise. ty

Either input another 4/4 time signature at the end of the 2/4 bar, or (if you were to do this again) you could use Insert mode with the Global Adjustment of Current Bar scope:

Say you had two quarter notes followed by rests in that original 4/4 bar, you could select the rests that represent the duration you no longer need, and press Delete/Backspace. Dorico will remove the corresponding amount of time from the music, and update time signatures (both for the affected bar, and the subsequent one).
