Set a parameter text default to change later??

I need to make a parameter start off with text in it but make it editable. The trouble is that I need to make 4 different variables change the starting text and for it to still be editable...

for example
if (A = A1) then
description = 1
endif

if (A = B1) then
description = 2
endif

but I need to be able to edit the 1 and the 2 later... Thanks

It's very straightforward: just define multiple user parameters like descr1, descr2, descr3, assign Text type to them so you will be able to type whatever you want as the parameter value.

Per your own example:
if (A = A1) then
description = descr1
endif

if (A = B1) then
description = descr2
endif
