# accessibilityIsAttributeSettable(_:)

Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the value for the specified attribute in the receiver can be set.

## Declaration

```swift
func accessibilityIsAttributeSettable(_ attribute: NSAccessibility.Attribute) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `attribute`: The name of the attribute. See doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/AppKit/nsaccessibility constants for lists of attribute names.

## Return Value

Return Value YES if the specified attribute can be set; otherwise, NO.

## Discussion

Discussion User interface classes must implement this method. Subclasses should invoke the superclass’s implementation, if it exists, if attribute is not implemented in the subclass.
