Hi Wolfgang,
my question was: Why is this \setvariables[tst][set=...
necessary at all. The following example worked without that.
\defineitemgroup[Tst]
\setupTst[1][n,\getvariable{tst}{broad}*broad]
\starttext
\startTst
\item text
\stopTst
\setvariables[tst][broad=5]
\startTst
\item text
\stopTst
\setvariables[tst][broad=9]
\startTst
\item text
\stopTst
% \showvariable{tst}{broad}
\stoptext
Wolfgang
