I am trying to input a score that uses 4/4 in the piano part and 12/8 for the other parts. Of course the quarter of the 4/4 is supposed to equal the dotted quarter of the 12/8, but I can't find a way to make this play back correctly. If anyone has any insight into this, I would greatly appreciate it!

At present there Notion doesn't support what you are trying to do.  Here's my workaround in case you're interested.

I keep everything in 4/4 and input the 12/8 as triplets in 4/4.

I know.... it doesn't look right but it does sound right and you did ask for a way to make it "play back correctly." :-)
