I've usually done this by:
1) Creating a pick point on the main graphic that loads P1 with the tag
(C:B.SPT) and raises an overlay (generic).
2) On the overlay
a) Displaying the current value
Connects to $P1
b) Having a data entry box
Connects to P2
c) Having a Confirm button
Runs a script that validates the setpoint and either:
i) Makes the change or
ii) Clears P2 and re-raises the overlay
d) Having a Cancel button
Closes the overlay
Works pretty well and can easily be implemented on your "standard" library
element used for showing the setpoint.
Hope this helps.

Note that a MATH block takes a quarter the space of a CALC.

On one site where ops entry error was a concern, we took away
all numeric operator entry fields and gave them only ramp keys.
Crude, but effective.
