Explanation

Once any class is set as a principal class, the principal class filter is automatically applied to the CI field on change, incident and problem records. This means that only CI's within a principal class can be selected on the CI field. If there are no CI Classes marked as Principal Class, then all CIs on all forms will be selectable on the CI field.
