# `GSGlyph.production`

*Instance Property*

The preferred glyph name for exported font files.

## Declaration

```swift
var production: String? { get set }
```

```objc
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString * production;
```

```python
pyobjc_instanceMethods.production() -> str
pyobjc_instanceMethods.setProduction_(production: str)
```

## Discussion

When this is `nil`, export derives a production name from the glyph name, Unicode values, and glyph information. Set [`GSGlyph.storeProduction`](/Core/GlyphsCore/GSGlyph/storeProduction) to `YES` to retain a custom production name.
