Programmatically Setting UIButton Font Removes "background Configuration" Section - swift

Question

I am attempting to change my font for my UIButton programmatically because it is in a UICollectionView. When I do this however, it removes the "background configuration" in the Attributes Inspector, an example is shown here. The reason why is because the text has to be set to "default" in order for the font to shown from the code. I need that area in order to add a corner style. I have shown my code below In which I have tried to programmatically add a corner style to no luck.
The attempted code specifically is in the "if" statement towards the bottom.
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDataSource {
#IBOutlet weak var collectionViewButtons: UICollectionView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
collectionViewButtons.delegate = self
collectionViewButtons.dataSource = self
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 6 //number of buttons
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath) as! ButtonCollectionViewCell
cell.buttonLive.setTitle("Handling a Breakup", for: .normal) //set button title
cell.buttonLive.titleLabel!.font = UIFont(name: "Marker Felt", size: 20)
_ = UIButton.Configuration.CornerStyle.large
if indexPath.item == 0 { //first button
cell.buttonLive.backgroundColor = UIColor.darkGray //set button background
}
else if indexPath.item == 1 { //second button
cell.buttonLive.backgroundColor = UIColor.systemGray
cell.buttonLive.setTitle("Good Work", for: .normal)
}
else if indexPath.item == 2 { //3rd button
cell.buttonLive.backgroundColor = UIColor.darkGray
}
else { // for remaining buttons
cell.buttonLive.backgroundColor = UIColor.darkGray
}
return cell
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
if indexPath.item == 0 { // opens any page by clicking button 1
// let vc = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "anyVC1") as! ViewController1
// navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)
// }
// else if indexPath.item == 1 {
// let vc = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "anyVC2") as! ViewController2
// navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)
}
// else if indexPath.item == 2 {
// let vc = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "anyVC3") as! ViewController3
// navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)
}
// else {
// let vc = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "anyVC4") as! ViewController4
// navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)
}
// }
//}
// You can return any number of buttons by changing return 6 to any required num

Use switch statement, this is how your collection view cellForItemAt look like:
cell.myButton.setTitle("Handling a Breakup", for: .normal) //set button title
cell.myButton.titleLabel?.font = UIFont(name: "Marker Felt", size: 20)
cell.myButton.layer.cornerRadius = 10
cell.myButton.clipsToBounds = true
switch indexPath.item {
case 1:
cell.myButton.backgroundColor = .link // add your color
cell.myButton.setTitle("Good Work", for: .normal)
default:
cell.myButton.backgroundColor = .white // add your color
}
return cell
