Hi,
ConTeXt sets parskip in columns always to one full line and ignores
half lines or any other value but you trick ConTeXt and set the white
again inside of multicolumns.
\starttext
\setupwhitespace[...] % global value
your text
\startcolumns
\setupwhitespace[...] % local value
text in columns
\stopcolumns
more text
\stoptext
You can not only use dimension for \setuwhitespace, you can also use
skip values like \setupwhitespace[3pt plus 2pt minus 1pt].
Wolfgang
