I have no experience with SharePoint and don't even have the application installed. However, I have managed to create and XML file and and XSD file that when loaded via Microsoft Word Developer>XML Mapping Pane>Add new part ... interface results in customize the
Insert>Text>QuickPart>Document Property menu. The following snippet results in a menu item "Project Status" that when clicked inserts a DropDownList content control in Word.

dms is associated with http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/documentManagement/types. Through some trial and error, I have learned that some other valid base values include "Text, Note, Bollean, Number, Currency, Lookup" What I am trying to figure out is if there is a valid base term that results in a ComboBox content control so the user can either choose a defined enumeration or fillin content. Thanks.

<xsd:element name="ProjectStatus" nillable="true" ma:displayName="Project Status" ma:default="InProgress" ma:hidden="false" ma:internalName="ProjectStatus" ma:readOnly="false">
<xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:restriction base="dms:Choice">
<xsd:enumeration value="Not Started"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="In progress < 25%"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="In progress < 50%"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="In progress < 75%"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="In progress > stages"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="On Hold"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="Canceled"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="Completed"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:element>

    Hi @Gregory K. Maxey ,

    In SharePoint, there is Allow 'Fill-in' choices option to enable users to fill in content.

    Then I insert the field in word, the snippet for the field is the below:

    <xsd:element name="Choice1" ma:index="13" nillable="true" ma:displayName="Choice1" ma:default="A" ma:format="Dropdown" ma:internalName="Choice1">  
<xsd:simpleType>  
<xsd:union memberTypes="dms:Text">  
<xsd:simpleType>  
<xsd:restriction base="dms:Choice">  
<xsd:enumeration value="A"/>  
<xsd:enumeration value="B"/>  
<xsd:enumeration value="C"/>  
</xsd:restriction>  
</xsd:simpleType>  
</xsd:union>  
</xsd:simpleType>  
</xsd:element>

    So for your requirement, you could add the belowing to make user can either choose a defined enumeration or fillin content.

    <xsd:simpleType>  
<xsd:union memberTypes="dms:Text">  

</xsd:union>  
</xsd:simpleType>

    For your snippet, update to this. It should work for you.

    <xsd:element name="ProjectStatus" nillable="true" ma:displayName="Project Status" ma:default="InProgress" ma:hidden="false" ma:internalName="ProjectStatus" ma:readOnly="false">
    <xsd:simpleType>
    <xsd:union memberTypes="dms:Text">
    <xsd:simpleType>
    <xsd:restriction base="dms:Choice">
    <xsd:enumeration value="Not Started"/>
    <xsd:enumeration value="In progress < 25%"/>
    <xsd:enumeration value="In progress < 50%"/>
    <xsd:enumeration value="In progress < 75%"/>
    <xsd:enumeration value="In progress > stages"/>
    <xsd:enumeration value="On Hold"/>
    <xsd:enumeration value="Canceled"/>
    <xsd:enumeration value="Completed"/>
    </xsd:restriction>
    </xsd:simpleType>
    </xsd:union>
    </xsd:simpleType>
    </xsd:element>
