Large text not displaying as multiple lines for UILabel in a custom tableview cell

Question

Setting up the UILabel on the attributes inspector as follow expands the cell and display the large text as multiple lines correctly for a Subtitle tableview cell:

Lines = 0

Line Break = Word wrap

But this doesn't work in a custom tableview cell for some reasons. In the custom cell, I added new labels and setup the attributes the same way but the cell doesn't expand.

How do you show two lines of text or more with it? Is the font size 10.0? — El Tomato, May 27 '21 at 04:36

It could be a matter of constraint. Check to see if there are any conflicting constraints or fixed settings.

In order for elements of a cell to be set flexibly, the height of the cell must be set to the automatic value.

When I set it up like this, I was able to get the results I wanted.
