Hi @kumar40 
You can set the filter in Dictionary entry of the field for that specific field as suggested by @Saurav11 

But I never seen applying filter in list view when we click on lookup button.

Hi @Saurav11 ,

I want to set the filter in list view when we click on lookup button.

We can't set that using reference qualifier which you suggested.

Hello,

Using reference qualifier filter is applied on the list view the only thing is that those filter will mot be visible/editable to the user.

If you want a filter witch should be editable it is not possible currently in the reference field. Please find the below post where Chuck(From Servicenow) mentions the same
