As a background: Enum completion is available in Robot Framework see User Guide : Supported Conversions. This is a powerful feature from library usage perspective: We can now explicitly limit the parameter values to a known set (Enum values). Robot Framework will automatically fail the test if a wrong parameter value is given.

What would be very useful now is that these parameter values could also be autocompleted as the same type and Enum information should be also available for the LSP based editor plugin.

Conversions also reveal type information that could be validated by the editor plugin. For instance date or number.
