Thanks for this alternative, but I am getting something different. Desired output can be produced with this code:

\setuphead[chapter][conversion=Romannumerals]
%\setupheadnumber[chapter][48] % this is ignored when a preface is defined
\setupcombinedlist[content][alternative=c]
\setupcombinedlist[chapter][
   distance=1em,
   width=-1em,
   margin=15mm,
   numbercommand={\simplealignedbox{\listparameter{width}}{flushright}},
]

\starttext
\completecontent

\startfrontmatter
\chapter{Preface}
\stopfrontmatter

\startbodymatter
\chapter{Chapter1}
\chapter{Chapter2}
\chapter{Chapter3}
\chapter{Chapter4}
\stopbodymatter

\stoptext
If there is a less cumbersome method, thanks for sharing.

Jan
