how to record employee match for 2 accounts

Unknown

I have both a normal 401 and ROTH 401.  My employer matches to both, but Quicken 2017 only seems to allow for a single match.  How to I make this all work?

When employers match both Roth and Regular 401(k) they likely show only 1 match amount based on your individual contribution but the Roth and Regular accounts are separate.  What is actually happening is your employer is matching/contributing to 2 separate amounts (Roth and Regular).  You need to separate both your contribution to 401(k) and the employer match into Regular and Roth amounts/accounts.

There is nothing Quicken can do to determine what the split is and how much goes to each account.

A regular 401(k) is pre-tax and Quicken supports the pre-tax employer match.  

The Roth 401(k) is after-tax.  Any employer match of a Roth 401(k) contribution should be entered as Earnings and included in the transfer to the Roth 401(k) account as an after-tax deduction.

Good Catch.  I missed that when I previously read this thread.
