Actually you are right: one can setup the userpage numbers by just saying way=byblock (no need to repeat numberconversionset).
Here is a complete example:

\defineconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals]
\defineconversionset[bodypart:pagenumber] [][numbers]
\defineconversionset[backpart:pagenumber] [][characters]
\setupuserpagenumber[way=byblock]

\starttext

\startfrontmatter
\placecontent
\stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter
\chapter{First chapter}
\input ward.tex
\section{A section}
\input dawkins.tex

\stopbodymatter

\startbackmatter
\chapter[title={Index},number=no]
\input tufte.tex
\stopbackmatter
\stoptext

Best regards: OK

This is the problem: It works, but I don’t unterstand why. I make just my first steps with ConTeXt…

Anyway: I found out, that this is the best solution:

\defineconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals]
\defineconversionset[bodypart:pagenumber][][numbers]
\defineconversionset[backpart:pagenumber] [][characters
\defineconversionset[appendix:pagenumber][][Characters]
\setupuserpagenumber[numberconversionset=pagenumber,way=byblock]

Now it’s not nessecary to reset the pagenumber.

Thanks for the hint about the Sample texts.

Best regards.

Thank you once more! This looks better. It’s a pity that such things are not »wikified«… ;)

Once you think you have well understood something do not hesitate to wikify it…

But there is a new surprise: What is knute.tex, ward.tex and tufte.tex? Are there more of those texte? And how does one finde them?

Look where you have installed the ConTeXt tree, in the following directory

tex/texmf-context/tex/context/sample

you’ll find some other sample files which can be input for testing: they are very useful!

Best regards: OK
