--- Comment #5 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

Autocomplete (actually Tools > AutoInput) in large spreadsheets is not
advisable as too many content starts with the same characters. Plus, using the
whole sheet/document as basis for the autoinput has likely a negative impact on
performance (probably the reason why competitors don't do either). The simple
workaround is to add the word list at the bottom of the needed column. And
using a macro is always possible too.

Putting all together we decided to not support the idea.
