# shouldRefetchContacts

A Boolean value that indicates whether to refetch the added and updated contacts after the save request executes.

```
var shouldRefetchContacts: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

The default value is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>, so the save request refetches added and updated contacts. Set to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false> to suppress the refetch behavior and reduce the save request’s execution time.
