I have been searching and trying to get my UITableView section header to allow multi line text but I cannot get it to work. This is what it's displaying as:

enter image description here

But the text is: What colour are the home shirts of Everton Football Club?

What I'm currently trying is:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {

        let label = UILabel()
        label.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping
        label.numberOfLines = 0
        label.text = question?.question
        return label
}

And place the following in the viewDidLoad event

tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 44.0
tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension

But it hasn't made any difference. Can anyone help me out?

instead of 

tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 44.0
tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension

use below

tableView.sectionHeaderHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
tableView.estimatedSectionHeaderHeight = 44
