IDEA - How can I place braces on the next line for .gradle files?

Question

In the Code Style settings of IntelliJ IDEA, there aren't any subcategories for .gradle files (e.g., build.gradle), and under Other File Types, there isn't any option to modify brace placements. I did not find solutions on to set brace placement for .gradle files.

What I'm trying to do: Make the braces look like this by default and after reformatting:

repositories
{
    mavenCentral()
}

Instead of this:

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

Is this change possible using the current version of IntelliJ IDEA? (2020.1.1)

Changing the code style settings for Groovy does not have an effect for some reason.

Braces for a Groovy class is placed correctly as in the settings. (This is tested in a .gradle file.)

Answer 1

It looks like the Settings (Preferences on macOS) → Editor → Code Style → Groovy → Wrapping and Braces → Braces placement → *Other option does not work as expected.

Answer 2

.gradle files are actually Groovy files. You can check that by looking under Editor → File Types → Groovy.

As such, you can modify the code style for Groovy to move braces onto the next line by going under Editor → Code Style → Groovy → Wrapping and Braces tab → Braces placement and tweaking it to your liking.
