Hello there,

in my grammar i have a path that looks like this:

attribute=ID

i want to scope the possible IDs in the same way i can do it with references.

How can i achieve this?

you can add validations and adapt content assist if this is what you mean.
or introduce an enum

Make sure that the referrable elements are in the index and use cross references to the elements you want to refer to:
attribute=[Attribute|ID]
Depending on your use case you have to customize your IScopeProvider and/or IQualifiedNameProvider.

MyDslValidator => see greeting example and MyDslProposalProvider => there should be "complete_XXXX and completeXXXX_yyyy" methods in the superclass you can override
