# subscript(_:) Returns an attribute value that corresponds to an attributed string key. ``` subscript(_: K.Type) -> K.Value? where K : AttributedStringKey, K.Value : Sendable { get set } ``` ## Overview This subscript returns `nil` unless the specified attribute exists, and is present and identical for the entire discontiguous attributed substring. To find portions of an attributed string with consistent attributes, use the `runs` property. Getting or setting stringwide attributes with this subscript has `O(n)` behavior in the worst case, where n is the number of runs. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
