Changing two notes to dotted equivalent removes tie to next note

Description with steps to reproduce

1. imported a MIDI file in 3/4
2. all dotted half notes (notes that take a full bar in 3/4) are represented as a half note tied to a quarter note - not great but OK. Maybe that's the way the MIDI contains these notes but it would be great if Musescore was smart enough to know that these notes take a full bar and make them dotted half notes during the import.
3. many of these notes are tied to the same combo in the next measure ie. one measure has half then quarter, next measure has half then quarter, and they are all tied together for one long note that spans the 2 measures
4. manually changing all the tied half+quarter notes to dotted half notes (not very pleasant) but when I select a half-note and hit the . key to change it to dotted, it loses the tie to the next measure, so I have to then hit T to replace the deleted tie
   When changing notes like this to dotted, if no rest needs to be inserted, ties should be maintained
   Same issue if just changing notes within a measure, it's not related to spanning between measures. You can see in the video that when I hit . on the second measure, the tie is properly maintained to the measure before, but when I hit . in the first measure, the tie is not maintained to the measure after.

Note that Tools > Regroup rhythms does seem to maintain the ties properly

Checklist

• This report follows the guidelines for reporting bugs and issues
• I have verified that this issue has not been logged before, by searching the issue tracker for similar issues
• I have attached all requested files and information to this report
• I have attempted to identify the root problem as concisely as possible, and have used minimal reproducible examples where possible

Reproduce the issue by importing the described MIDI file, then changing a half note with the dot key and compare the result with Tools > Regroup rhythms. Trace the note-duration change and tie handling from those entry points; done means converting a note without requiring a rest preserves the tie to the following note or measure.
