For time signature, choose 2 as the number of beats (not 6) and dotted quarter as the denominator value. This will cause eighths to be beams to the time signature. 6/8 is really 2/dotted quarter after all. When you make the change, choose Rebeam music for the beams to change, otherwise only the NEWLY entered music will be affected.
...only for ancient Finale versions. ;-)
In recent versions, it's faster to select 6/8 from the contextual menu and then rebeam. This version of 6/8 will automatically group in 3.
