Description:
Auto-complete works only on SELECT statements.
Auto-complete doesn't work on UPDATE (and other), sub-query or in SELECT statements e.g:

  INSERT INTO db_schema_1.table1 (field1, field2)
  SELECT field1, field2 FROM db_schema_2.table1 

How to repeat:
Try to write in your schema for example:

SELECT field1, field2 FROM db_schema_2.table1

And  you'll see the fields are suggested, if you write complex query (sub-query) or UPDATE queries the fields are not auto-completed as in the select part of this query:

 INSERT INTO db_schema_1.table1 (field1, field2)
  SELECT field1, field2 FROM db_schema_2.table1

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 8.0.11 release, and here's the changelog entry:

Code completion did not provide a suggestion reliably for instructions
included in the server dictionary, such as statements or system variables.

Thank you for the bug report.
