Using Discovery to populate CMDB and it puts DNS name in CIs name field but it's not always accurate so how do I make discovery to insert FQDN instead?

Understood. What is the source of truth for a ci name? NBT, WMI?
There are couple more properties available to address this issue. You can play around with them to see if it suffice.
glide.discovery.hostname.wmi_trusted
glide.discovery.domain.name.nbt

You can set the 'glide.discovery.hostname.include_domain' property to true to include a domain portion in a ci hostname.
Navigate to Discovery Definition > Properties and search for 'Include domain name in host name', set it to true.

excuse my ignorance but won't that just add domain name after the hostname?

So here's the thing. Discovery find host with wrong name (name in DNS), for example, computer1 which is a name in DNS but it's actual name is computer2 (short name) and FQDN is computer2.com.
