Hi Yury,
You should replace "substr" in that URL with "<substr>" - that might just
be the issue.
However, I should note that we're currently, as part of Jatin Mehta's
Google Summer of Code project on SF autocompletion, working on improving
autocompletion on external values. Right now the setup is quite limited -
you need to basically set up an API that outputs the necessary values in a
specific JSON format, unless you happen to be autocompleting on values from
another SMW-based wiki. Jatin's project will hopefully expand that
considerably, making use of functionality like that of the External Data
extension to allow for flexibly getting value sets from a variety of
formats. I don't know if you were planning to create such a mini-API
already, but, if you're willing to wait a month or two, it could be that
that effort would no longer be necessary.
