auto layout modify multiplier of constraint programmatically

Question

How can I modify the multiplier of a constraint programmatically? I have set the following:

[self.view addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:_

As others said, you have to delete the old one and add a new one. If you do not want to store it as a property, just set identifier and search to get it later

-(NSLayoutConstraint *)constraintWithIndientifer:(NSString *)identifer InView:(UIView *)view{
    NSLayoutConstraint * constraintToFind = nil;
    for (NSLayoutConstraint * constraint in view.constraints ) {
        if([constraint.identifier isEqualToString:identifer]){
            constraintToFind = constraint;
            break;
        }
    }
    return constraintToFind;
}

Then

NSLayoutConstraint * constraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.yellowView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeWidth relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.view attribute:NSLayoutAttributeWidth multiplier:0.5 constant:0.0];
constraint.identifier = @"1234";
[self.view addConstraint:constraint];

Then you can get this

NSLayoutConstraint * constraint = [self constraintWithIndientifer:@"1234" InView:self.view];
