Why Auto-completion Is Not Working?
Logics
...
must be marked as a 'Source' folder
Did you mark the folder with the logics as a 'Source folder' in Module Settings?
Pricefx Framework must be added to the project
Have you added the Pricefx Framework support? You should Update Project Libraries once when a major Studio or PFX version is versions are released.
Re-activate GDSL script execution once it crashes
GDSL is IntelliJ's native DSL Groovy-based language for defining additional auto-completion rules. We don't do not know why , but sometimes the GDSL execution crashes (typically when switching branches) and then IDEA stops the auto-completion for all projects. Once this happens, navigate to the External Libraries > Pricefx API > logic-debug-xxxx-xx-xx.jar > PFXIdeaPublicGroovyAPI.gdsl in the project tree. If the auto-completion has crashed, then a yellow popup with the button 'Activate back' button appears. Note that it may take couple of seconds to appear. Once you press click 'Activate back', the auto-completition completion is enabled again.
After pressing "clicking 'Activate Back"', you can also purge the IntelliJ cache: File > Invalidate Caches / Restart > Invalidate and Restart. This should force IntelliJ to rebuild caches for the API documentation.

The auto-completion of methods in "'libs" works ' works only if the "'elements" ' folder is marked as "'Source" ' in IDEA. All logic elements are created in the default package and therefore the parent folder "'elements" must ' must be a root source folder. Best It is best to do this in by using right-click on the root folder > Open Module Settings > Modules > Sources.

Date suffix needs to be removed from Groovy Library name for 'libs' to work
The auto-completion of methods in "'libs" ' (resp. legacy 'lib') does not work when the Groovy library is in a folder that is not a valid Java package name (= by default it has the date suffix "+YYYY-MM-DD"). In that case, simply rename and remove the suffix part if you do not have a logic with different validFrom. This is safe to do, the package tool does not use this information; it reads the 'validAfter' information from the logic.json.
Element names not unique
For cases when auto-completion does not work for referring elements either within the same logic or in 'libs' (resp. legacy 'lib'): if you use two elements of the same name in the project, IDEA does not know which Class should be evaluated. Avoid having elements of the same name, so e.g. add a suffix "Utils" to the names of the Groovy library elements.
