is it intended to have to define a mixture of all of these to work? Only the deprecated one seems to work on if statements

[Atul Gupta]

OptionalWhenBraces is deprecated in favour of BracesOnWhen(When|If)Statements comes with config options which you can customise as below

BracesOnIfStatements:
  active: true
  singleLine: 'consistent'
  multiLine: 'consistent'

see https://detekt.dev/docs/rules/style/#bracesonifstatements

My config that I use

BracesOnIfStatements:
  active: true
  singleLine: 'never'
  multiLine: 'always'
BracesOnWhenStatements:
  active: true
  singleLine: 'never'
  multiLine: 'always'

Also OptionalWhenBraces is going in 2.0:

Should be marked as deprecated in 1.23.1
