# fetchRequestTemplatesByName A dictionary of the receiver’s fetch request templates, keyed by name. ``` var fetchRequestTemplatesByName: [String : NSFetchRequest] { get } ``` ## Discussion If the template contains a predicate with substitution variables, you should instead use [`fetchRequestFromTemplate(withName:substitutionVariables:)`](/documentation/CoreData/NSManagedObjectModel/fetchRequestFromTemplate(withName:substitutionVariables:)) to create a new fetch request. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
