Can't create outlet from label. - Different Problem than the first guy.

I'm trying to create an outlet from the label with the title "You Can't Press Me", but when I command drag from the label to the assistant editor it doesn't let me create.

To be clear when I drag their is a blue line that stretches forth from the label, but when my cursor reaches the assistant editor their is no clicking or underlying blue lines that show up in the code.

I retried doing this with the button in the master view and it still can create outlets in the controller files. I am not sure why this label is different.

i think i found the solution

click on Main.storyboard then click on the another view controller (PlayListDetailViewController) then from the right sidebar menu or tools click on (show the identity inspector) and put the name of the class the related to this view controller )

To be clear , See (Working With Multiple View Controllers ->Master-Detail User Interface )

hope it's work with you

Their is a good chance that if the option to create the IBOutlet is not showing up then you are in the wrong view controller. Check to make sure you are linking this to the appropriate view controller file.

It is control - drag, not command - drag
