In a method and apparatus for setting and/or adjusting a parameter value of at least one parameter of a magnetic resonance protocol for at least one magnetic resonance sequence, a manual entry that selects the magnetic resonance protocol is made into a computer, and a further entry is made that provides boundary conditions for setting and/or adjusting the parameter value of the at least one parameter of the magnetic resonance protocol. The computer provides setting criteria from previous settings and/or adjustments of the parameter value of the at least one parameter of the magnetic resonance protocol. The computer sets and/or adjusts the parameter value of the at least one parameter of the magnetic resonance protocol on the basis of the provided boundary conditions and on the basis of the provided setting criteria.
