Eric's answer works, but ONLY if there is actually a note in the first
ending, too. If there is no note in the first ending, nothing will
happen.
To force Finale to show it correctly, you can put a normal tie at the
end of the first ending, then manually edit it with the Special Tools
to shorten it and disconnect it from the note in the second ending.
For the second ending, if Eric's solution is not applicable, you can
put a tie starting ON the note in the second ending, then reverse it
using the Special Tool. If there is already a tied note starting the
second ending (as already has happened to me!) then you will have to
reverse the first tie, then reverse the second tie, etc., until you
come to an untied note. Or you can enter a slur and adjust the curve to
look like a tie.
You could also drop a note to tech support asking for the backward tie
to ALWAYS work, whether or not there is a first or second ending, with
or without notes in the preceding measure. There is no reason for this
feature to be so restrictive.

Speedy Entry. Command-click (on Mac) or Control-Click the measure, and
then you'll see it.
Also look in the online documentation under Edit Frame.

Hi, Everyone...
Is there some way to have a tie extend over a repeat situation? For
example, a first and second ending where the first note in the ending
is tied to the last note in the measure preceding the endings? I
guess I need something like a little "half tie" to go with the first
note of the 2nd ending to show it's a tied note...? Also, where it's
repeating back to the beginning of the verse - that first note is
also a tied note so I would need the last note in the 1st ending to
have some kind of "half tie" to show it's tied to the note it's about
to repeat back to... Hope this makes sense... If not, I can
snapshot the example for you to show what I mean. I thought about
making the repeats go to a measure where there isn't a tied note but
this song pretty much has tied notes at the beginning and ending of
each measure (going from the last note of the measure to the first
note of the next measure)...??!! Help!
