# nsPredicate

The request’s predicate.

```
var nsPredicate: NSPredicate?
```

## Discussion

Set this configuration value to cause a [`SectionedFetchRequest`](/documentation/SwiftUI/SectionedFetchRequest)
to execute a fetch with a new predicate.

Access this value for a given request by using the
[`nsPredicate`](/documentation/SwiftUI/SectionedFetchResults/nsPredicate) property on the associated
[`SectionedFetchResults`](/documentation/SwiftUI/SectionedFetchResults) instance, either directly or with a
[`Binding`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Binding).
