So my main problem is that I need, in the command \startchapter, a third form for the chapter title to fit in the header and a compatible version of the setup for the headertexts.

This is what the `marking` key is for.

\starttext \startchapter[title={Title}, list={What goes to table of contents}, marking={What goes to header and footers}]

...

\stopchapter \stoptext

Thanks Aditya. This is what I needed. Best regards, Robert
