Fixed height constraint on UIView

Question

I have a UIView inside of my layout in order to do some clipping and grouping, however the autolayout resizes it when shrunk. I want to give it a fixed height but the only option is to set the top and bottom space.

Is there a way to set an explicit height constraint?

I just found this answer (Auto-Layout Constraint: How to make a view maintains its width/height ratio when resized?). This is what my implementation looks like:

- (void)awakeFromNib
{
    [super awakeFromNib];

    NSLayoutConstraint *con1 = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self
                                                            attribute:NSLayoutAttributeHeight
                                                            relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
                                                               toItem:nil
                                                            attribute:NSLayoutAttributeNotAnAttribute
                                                           multiplier:1
                                                             constant:self.frame.size.height];
    [self addConstraint:con1];
}
