I thought I could do a search on the custom list but apparently custom lists aren't available for search?

im not really sure what you are describing, but you can do a search on the custom list type by searching the 'customlist' search type

or you can search the values of a custom list by doing a search using the scriptid of the custom list as the search type

I tried doing the saved search in the UI because I usually just export them with the NetSuite: Search Export extension, but couldn't find Custom List in the search types to create in the UI

ive never found the options in the ui, but you can create the searches in code and save it and find the saved searches in the saved search list afterwards

Ok, now I'm getting the following error: `An nlobjSearchColumn contains an invalid column, or is not in proper syntax: value`

Untitled

What are the columns available for a custom list search?

I got the field IDs from the xml of the custom list but apparently that's not what they're called in search

Maybe if I don't include any columns it'll just give me all of them...

create the search in script, save it, add the columns you want

save it, then load it again to see what the names are

although i think you are looking for the name and internal id

Yup, it was name and internal ID :slightly_smiling_face:
