I'm trying to obtain:

1. text text text
2. text text text
2*. text text text
3. text text text
4. text text text
4*. text text text

I've seen something similar done with:

newcommandmyitemrefstepcounterenumiitem[theenumiup*.]

Here
. However, it is not what I'm trying to accomplish.

EDIT. My God, you people are awesome!!! If I could only get as many responses in the Cross Validated stack I would finish my thesis in a week;)

It is better to let the very right of labels aligned together. Define newcommandmyitemitem[$vphantomx^*$theenumi] and use setlist[enumerate,1]leftmargin=*, label=arabic*. in the preamble.

documentclassreport

usepackageenumitem

newcommandmyitemitem[$vphantomx^*$theenumi]
setlist[enumerate,1]leftmargin=*, label=arabic*.

begindocument

beginenumerate
 item Item 1
 item Item 2
 myitem Item 2 (with asterisk)
 item Item 3
 item Item 4
 item Item 5
endenumerate

  Somehow I cannot make it work. I use documentclassbook and place the relevant part of the code in the main .tex while the chapters are added by subfile. The list is supposed to be in one of the chapters

  unfortunately yes, I had to add that because equations in the enumerate kept on going out of textwidth
