How to change duration of the several notes?
Hi. When I select a group of notes, and lower eights to sixteenths, I want to see the half rest at the end, but not the dumb rests between the notes. How can I do that? Why is Maestro, mobile app for android behave this way automaticly, but MuseScore not?

Both behaviours are useful, but in fact I'm still a little surprised there's no straightforward way to take existing pitches and reassign them all a new duration without inserting rests between them to preserve their time positions. In your particular at least you do have the "paste half duration" command at your disposal.
Agree some thought should be given to what a user is likely to want if they select a bunch of notes and then chooses a new duration. It's particularly an issue if you want them to go from, say, regular 1/8 notes to triplet 1/8 notes.
