Hello James,
Because we would have to calculate it and it would be very expensive in term of resources. Plus, the results may not be exactly what editors expect. With the lists of "allowed qualifiers", it's the perfect occasion to clean them up, and the community can have total control on what appears in the suggester :)
I hope that answers your question.

Interesting, but why not simply suggest the most frequently-used qualifiers for the given property?
The list of "allowed qualifiers" is often wildly incomplete; or alternatively no such constraint is specified at all.

Hello all,
Currently, when adding a new value in the constraints section of a property, there is no suggestion to fill the value or the qualifier. We’ve been improving this by a few changes that are going to be deployed this week.
- When adding a new value in the property constraint statement, a list of suggestions will be displayed and, all the relevant constraint
items will be showed first. They will be selected among the list of qualifiers present in the statement “property constraint -> one of constraint” of property constraint (P2302) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P2302. - Of course, you can still type anything you want in the field to find a value. The full text search has been improved (when typing “none constr” you will also see “none of constraint” in the suggester)
In a very near future, we will also make the following happen:
- Same behavior for qualifiers inside the constraint statements. The suggester will pick up the values from “allowed qualifiers constraint” - When clicking on “add value” in the property constraint statement, a suggester menu will directly appear (without having to click on the
value field)
The first two changes will appear on wikidata.org on August 30th, the following ones in the next weeks. Feel free to make some tests, and let us know if you find a bug or something that doesn’t behave as expected.
