Unable to Enable/apply "format file on Save" [message #1872419]

Hello Team,

I am working on enabling "Format on save" option in Eclipse. I am creating a custom profile which is supposed to do indentation fixes for the current working file on click of save. I am following below methods to ensure its happening.

Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Save Actions
Select "Format source code"
select "Format edited lines" or "Format all lines"
Apply ---> This is not working

And we even tried these steps:

Window > Preferences > Java > Code Style > Formatter
Created a new Profile called "test"
This as well not working

But for some reason the configuration is not being applied and code is not getting formatted even on save. Could you help us finding a way to achieve this?

Eclipse Version: 2024-09 (4.33.0)

Are you opening and saving Java source files that are inside Source Folders of a Java Project (all according to their proper names in the Eclipse UI)?

Yes, we have provided all the names properly in terms of Eclipse UI. Is there any other way to troubleshoot this issue. Kindly help us here. Also let us know if the version of the Eclipse is an issue here.
