That "generate parts" button is misleading -- you don't need to click it to have a linked part. You only need it if you want to have Finale actually create the parts based on the staves and names in the score. Once you click the OK button, any part or parts you have defined and are listed in the left-hand panel are created.
Don't mistake "generate parts" for "create the parts you defined." They should have labeled the button "generate parts with no effort on your part" so as not to be misleading -- it's not necessary to click it to create the parts which have shown up in the left-hand panel.
Not only is it not necessary, but it undoes whatever parts you had previously defined. Got caught a couple of times before I understood what this was about.
