# allowsEditingTextAttributes

A Boolean value indicating whether the cell allows the editing of its content’s text attributes by the user.

## Declaration

```swift
var allowsEditingTextAttributes: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion When the value of this property is true, the user can modify the font and other textual attributes of the cell. When the value is false, the user cannot edit the text or import graphics, which effectively means the cell cannot support RTFD text.
