Tied Note Rhythm

When I ‘dot’ an eighth note, it turns into a sixteenth tied to an eighth rather than a dotted eighth. How do I change this? (see image)

You can go back and use Force Duration (shortcut: the letter o) instead of letting Dorico format the off-grid start anticipatory start to the note.

Also check in Library > Notation Options > Note Grouping to see if there’s a default that will cover all instances of this sort of rhythm.
