I defined a CustomCell type in my UITableView (shown below), which contains two labels in a stackView. The second label in the stackView has its numberOfLines set to 2. However, when this line has 1 line of data, it causes the second label to be cut off vertically (shown below).

How can I update the constraints so that the second label can dynamically adjust based on if there are 1 or 2 lines of data?

What I tried:

• Setting the stackView's distribution to fillProportionally, this only works if there are 2 lines of data in the second label
• Adding spacing to the stackView to separate the two labels
• Removing the stackView, and constraining the two labels individually

struct Data {
    var type, name: String
}

class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
    var data = [Data]()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        
        setupView()
    }

    lazy var tableView: UITableView = {
        let tableView = UITableView()
        tableView.delegate = self
        tableView.dataSource = self
        tableView.register(CustomCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell")
        
        tableView.backgroundColor = .white
        tableView.separatorStyle = .none
        
        return tableView
    }()
    
    func setupView() {
        data = [
            Data(type: "Breakfast", name: "Poached Egg & Avocado Toast with Sliced Cherry Tomatoes"),
            Data(type: "Lunch", name: "Poached Egg & Avocado Toast")
        ]
        
        view.backgroundColor = .white
