Hello everybody, I need your help with an issue. I'm trying to insert a Text inside a clipshape with background color but I can't make the frame dynamic. My text could have a variable lenght, so I need to set a dynamic frame to avoid cutting my text with "..." to the end, and to make it completely visible. My code right now is this:

ZStack(alignment: .top) {
          Color.gray
          VStack(alignment:.leading) {
              Text("Concept")
                .bold()
              Text("\(item.concept[i])")
                .multilineTextAlignment(.leading)
                .lineLimit(nil)
                .padding(.bottom, 5)
          }
          .padding(10)
}
    .frame(minHeight: 120, maxHeight:200)
    .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 15))

I need a way to make maxHeight variable. If I delete it completely, the frame take all the space way down. Thank you very much.

You can use the fixedSize(horizontal:vertical:) modifier on the ZStack.

For example, if you wanted the height of the view to take up only the space it needs but the width to have the 'normal' behaviour, use it like this:

ZStack(…) {
  …
}
.fixedSize(horizontal: false, vertical: true)
.clipShape(…)

Check out the documentation and this article for more on fixedSize and layout.
