Hi Guys,
how to get classes parent from class search suitescript 2.0?

It doesn't look like you can get it via search API but it is accessible through SuiteQL (`SELECT id, name, parent FROM classification`)

```ar classificationSearchObj = search.create({
   type: "classification",
   filters:
   [
   ],
   columns:
   [
      search.createColumn({
         name: "name",
         sort: search.Sort.ASC,
         label: "Name"
      }),
      search.createColumn({name: "namenohierarchy", label: "Name (no hierarchy)"}),
      search.createColumn({name: "externalid", label: "External ID"}),
      search.createColumn({name: "isinactive", label: "Inactive"}),
      search.createColumn({name: "subsidiary", label: "Subsidiary"})
   ]
});
var searchResultCount = classificationSearchObj.runPaged().count;
log.debug("classificationSearchObj result count",searchResultCount);```


Understood but it is <https://system.netsuite.com/help/helpcenter/en_US/srbrowser/Browser2020_2/script/record/classification.html|not available as a search column> so you will need to either use SuiteQL instead or load the individual records to get the parent (or extract from name column)
