If I add Configuration Item to the All Incidents list view and do a lookup, it only shows items with the class of Computer. If I am in an incident, the lookup shows alls classes.
I don't know where the filter on the list view is coming from. Is there a way to change that?

This list view on Incidents. Currently that is only showing CI's with class of Computer. I would like it to also show CI's where Selectable on Incident is true.

The reference qualifier on the incident cmdb_ci field is defined at the task level. (see my first image). This is inherited by all task tables (incident, problem, change_request, sc_request, sc_req_item, etc.) If you want to clear or change the reference qualifier for incident only, add an entry in the Dictionary Override table for incident table and tell it you want a new reference qualifier (check the checkbox) and leave the value field that appears as empty. You will then get all CIs from cmdb_ci when you do an incident lookup without impacting the other task based tables.

If I go to the Dictionary entry Task table, CMDB_CI column, it does show a Dictionary Override for Change Request and I do see all CI's from the list view for Change or from within a Change form. How do I get it to show me more than just computers objects on the Incident list view? I want both the list view and form view to show Computers or CI's where Selectable on Incident is true.

To get the cmdb_ci field to show all CI classes, you can add add an override for task.cmdb_ci on the incident table. Check the box to override the reference qualifier and leave the reference qualifier field value empty. That effectively "strips off" the reference qualifier for cmdb_ci on the incident table.
