VERTICAL_ALIGNMENT_CENTER won't center?

Help

Well I found the solution, If I set the custom_minimum_size and set size to it, godot will automatically set it to the min size for vertical alignment to work.

label.custom_minimum_size = Vector2(new_size.x, 0)
label.size = label.custom_minimum_size

Just need to make sure the label settings are applied first.

This is the updated code, ignore the added anchoring stuff, that was just to simplify some of the stuff I was doing.

func create_label(new_text: String, new_position: Vector2, new_size: Vector2, new_fontsize: float, new_alignment: int) -> Label:
	var label := Label.new()
	label.text = new_text

	# Apply font settings
	var label_settings := LabelSettings.new()
	label_settings.font = ThemeDB.fallback_font
	label_settings.font_size = new_fontsize
	label.label_settings = label_settings

	# Set correct size
	label.custom_minimum_size = Vector2(new_size.x, 0)
	label.size = label.custom_minimum_size

	# Set Anchoring (Centering) IGNORE THIS FOR SOLUTION
	label.set_anchors_preset(Control.PRESET_CENTER)
	label.pivot_offset = label.size * 0.5  # Center pivot to match Godot Editor behavior

	# Adjust position to respect anchoring  INGNORE THIS FOR SOLUTION
	label.position = new_position - label.size * 0.5

	# Set alignment
	label.horizontal_alignment = new_alignment
	label.vertical_alignment = VERTICAL_ALIGNMENT_CENTER

	# Debugging: Add a ColorRect to visualize label bounds
	var debug_rect := ColorRect.new()
	debug_rect.size = label.size
	debug_rect.color = Color(1, 0, 0, 0.3)  # Semi-transparent red
	label.add_child(debug_rect)

	return label

Now I can just set

label.custom_minimum_size = new_size

and it should just resize it if its too small automatically.
