Hmmm. ktfmt erroneously detects an import as unused and removes it.
Gradle 8.x introduced new assignment operator for Property instances, allowing = (delegating to .set()).
IntelliJ 2023.2 fixed its erroneous detection of org.gradle.kotlin.dsl.assign as unused.

ktfmt removes org.gradle.kotlin.dsl.assign resulting in a compilation failure, though not even getting there on CI as it first checks if anything needs to be formatted and fails on this erroneous change.

Doesn’t appear to be a way to workaround this.

Ticket.

Thanks for reporting this, this is likely that this assign operator name is not part of the this list here
