Automatically convert note values (ex. 8ths vs triplets) but keep notes
I've looked at threads from past years where the answer was that it isn't possible, but I want to reiterate the question in case there's been an update on this.
I recently converted a PDF using the import tool, and it actually did a decent job (aside from its inability to detect chord notation), but there are some errors throughout. One is that half the time it doesn't recognize a group of triplets and converts them into a group of three 8th notes, creating measures with total duration longer than the time signature allows. The notes are correct, so I wish there were a way to select and convert them into triplets. I imagine this is tricky from a coding perspective, so it wouldn't surprise me if this is still not possible. But might it be in the future? Or has anyone developed a plug-in for this kind of thing?
It takes a little manual labor, but the import tool did a decent job, so I'm still satisfied with the transcription time I'm saving.

Thanks, this looks like this would solve the problem.

Does this work in Musescore 4? It looks like it's detected but it doesn't actually do anything. If necessary I can reinstall Musescore 3.

From the plugin page:
Support of MS4.0
NOT SUPPORTED
MuseScore 4.0 support for plugin is minimal. Many functions are not implemented yet, or have changed.
Therefore, this plugin does not work under MuseScore 4.0.
I've sometimes accidentally forgotten that a piece was in compound meter and tried to add a set of notes that were supposed to be a quadruplet. I just pasted the notes somewhere else for reference and then redid it. as far as I know there is not a way to paste the notes into a tuples area either. I think my solution might be your best option.

The other responder's plugin looks like it would work, check it out.
