Currently all finesse weapons use the Dex stats. I would love a toggle or ability to set them to strength. Example - my barbarian rogue has high str and dex. When raging or relentless attack you have to use Str based attack for bonus to apply, but must use finesse weapon for sneak attack. My goblin uses short swords. So all my attacks shows my rolls/dmg with dex. So I currently have to "weld" an additional strength weapon to keep my strength bonus up on screen.

  Finesse weapons should use whichever modifier is better between Strength and Dexterity; is your character's Strength score lower than their Dexterity?

  If you'd like a workaround in the meantime, you could add an equivalent weapon without the Finesse property and set its weight to zero, then rename it if you wish, that way you can roll as Strength by clicking the correct weapon entry.

  Strength is lower currently. Dex started higher for ac. Saving throws, Etc. Its basically a -1 so I can get +2 dmg with advantage. So yes, currently using a work around. Just thought it would be a nice feature.
