Can't reset UILabel attributedText when a UITableViewCell is reused

Question

The problem

I\'m using a UITableView to show the list of transactions of a credit card. If the transaction is a chargeback, I\'m adding a strikethroug

You should try to set with .attributedText here instead of using `.text'. If it won't work I'll delete my answer.

// Fill in the values
transactionDescriptionLabel.text = transactionData.description
transactionValueLabel.text = Formatter.currency.string(for: transactionData.balance)

So, try this

transactionDescriptionLabel.attributedText = //
transactionValueLabel.attributedText = //

One more thing. Actually I don't like didSet. I suggest you to create a method to configure your cell. Here is an example of what I want to tell you.

func configure(with transactionData: TimelineResponseModel) {
   // Reset the labels
   transactionDescriptionLabel.text = nil
   transactionDescriptionLabel.attributedText = nil
   transactionValueLabel.text = nil
   transactionValueLabel.attributedText = nil

   // Fill in the values
   transactionDescriptionLabel.text = transactionData.description
   transactionValueLabel.text = Formatter.currency.string(for: transactionData.balance)

   if transactionData.isChargeback {
      let value = Formatter.currency.string(for: transactionData.balance) ?? ""
      transactionDescriptionLabel.attributedText = transactionData.description.strikedThrough()
      transactionValueLabel.attributedText = value.strikedThrough()
   }
}

Next.

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    guard let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: TimelineTableViewCell.reuseIdentifier,
                                                   for: indexPath) as? TimelineTableViewCell else { fatalError() }
    // Thats what I really like
    cell.configure(with: viewModel.timeline[indexPath.row])
    return cell
}
