Change "Classification" of Communication Site?

How/where can we change the "Classification" of a Communication Site after it is created?

  • I would like to know as well.   I just came across this scenario today and would like to know where this information is stored.

     

    How to reproduce:

    1. Configure classification taxonomy for Unified Groups ($setting["ClassificationList"] = "LBI,MBI,HBI")

    2. Configure a default classification ($setting["DefaultClassification"] = "MBI")

    3. Go to SharePoint launcher -> Create site -> Communication site

    4. Specify site classification and click "Finish"

     

    Communication sites are not a part of an O365 Group/ Unified Group, so there isn't a "classification" attribute to get/set from a Unified Group object.  I do not see a classification attribute in the Get-SPOSite object or in the Graph API.  Help to point out where this is stored would be great.

      From my understanding this is not currently a supported use case but one that perhaps Mark-Kashman might comment upon.

        havent seen a set-pnpproperty command yet. get-pnpproperty will retreive the current setting.

         

        Out of the box classification on modern sites : pnp video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-8Z2ggHcS0

        i have followed this video and now have my custom classifications showing in the dropdown on the site creation dialogue for both team and comms sites.
