Hello,
I have simple model for testing auto-complition string values.

grammar org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDsl with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals
generate myDsl "http://www.xtext.org/example/mydsl/MyDsl"
Model:
	items+= (Entity  | Dictionary | Rule)*
;
Entity:
	'entity' name=ID
;
Dictionary:
	'RecommendedValues' 'for' entity=[Entity|ID]
	'[' values+= STRING+ ']' 
;
Rule:
	'Selected' 'value' 'for' entity=[Entity|ID] '=' refValue=STRING
;

Is it possible implement auto-completion in UI with list of 'RecommendedValues' but with possibility to insert arbitrary value?

hi you might have a look at the concept of template proposals.
you can create them
- shipping templates.xml
- condiguratively
- programmatically
