I don't know a quick/easy way. You can pop-up an overlay and force the entry there and it can run a script to verify the value. One other thought - If they use the PIDA block, they can setup setpoint ramps and clamps. It doesn't have the normally requested "no more than x% of the current value" check, but it can limit the absolute value. The ramp can make it less disruptive to make a change.

A friend of mine had a situation where an operator miss entered a setpoint and shutdown a unit.
