You can also do Measure | Multimeasure Rest | Create for Parts/Score and do all the parts in one go.

Or you can go to Document Options | Multimeasure Rests and check Update Automatically. Then as you add music, MM rests in the part should break themselves as needed. I think the downside to this is that Finale actually recalculates each MM rest when you switch to the part, and you will lose any manual edits. For example, if you have adjusted the endpoint of an MM rest to avoid a clef change, you will lose that edit.

Maybe, but this is actually working as designed. Take a look at 37-23 in the manual, which spells most of this out. I'm not saying this is the best approach, but it's not a bug either.
