Personally, I right-click and go to measure properties.

I tried that. My whole page clears and all my measure delete when i change it there.

I am able to do that. It is always wise to provide at least the .mscz-file in such cases.(Or best: Version of MuseScore and OS)

Right-click on the measure (not notes)?
To be clear:
1) right click the specific measure you wish to change to 1.4
2) Measure Properties
3) change Actual duration to 1/4
4) OK
This works in 2l0 exactly as in earlier versions. If you are still having problems, please psot your specific score and tell us which measure you are right clicking in step 1 so we can see what you are seeing.

I just figured it out. I cant have a line break on the measures and then try to change the time signature. I had to remove the line break then it worked fine and then I add the line break back in.

No, you can have line breaks when you change time signature. If you literally change the time signature, existing line breaks are automatically removed because the barlines are now in different places. But I don't think you need to literlly change the time signature - I'm assuming you reall just need to change "actual" duration in Measure Properties, which leaves barlines exactly where they were. But even literally changing the time signature works, it just removes the line breaks.

Now I have a 2/4 measure with one beat. I need a 1/4 measure. Is there any way to accomplish this?
