How do you extend the height of a collection view and not have scrolling, but have scrolling on the-CodePudding

Right now, I have a collection view with scrolling inside a view.

I'd like the collection view's height to expand downward depending on how much content it has and not have any scrolling.

A user would then scroll from the outside view.

The collection view is the last section in the screenshot:

I tried using a table view with one cell having a collection view and that did not work.

You may want to first spend some time researching different ways to layout UI elements.

Depending on how many "repeating" elements you'll potentially have, you might want to take this approach:

If you'll potentially have many, many "repeating" views (cells), you might be better off using a collection view - with its built-in memory management - using one of these approaches:

Or, possibly a collection view with a Compositional Layout.

In any case, trying to "expand the collection view to show all the cells and then scroll the whole thing" defeats the purpose of using a collection view, and is rarely the appropriate way to go.
