When you want a certain value in various places I would use \definemeasure to set it and \measure to access it.
\definemeasure[parindent][1em]
\define[1]\TestHeadCommand
 {\offset[x=-\measure{parindent}]{#1}}
\definedescription
 [test]
 [alternative=top,
  margin=\measure{parindent},
  headcommand=\TestHeadCommand]
\setupindenting[yes,\measure{parindent}]
\starttext
\input knuth
\starttest{Knuth}
\input knuth
\stoptest
\input knuth
\stoptext

Great, I didn't know about the \measure way.
Still - when I don't want to specify the indenting value directly, as I am satisfied with the value which is set by \setupindenting[medium] - is there a way how to get the indenting value in this case?
I mean - what value of indenting is set by \setupindenting[small], \setupindenting[medium], \setupindenting[big]?
small = 1em
medium = 1.5em
big = 2em
...
Are these values accessible anyhow? Via Lua?
They are stored in \parindent but descriptions have the setting “indenting=never” which set parindent to 0pt. \setupindenting uses internal register to store the value before to assigns it to parindent but it’s not meant to be used by a user.
