IDE Keep Reformatting XML

Answered

While working on XML files, IntelliJ keeps reformatting and I have no idea what setting I have to disable to preventing from doing so.

Example:

What I want:

<metadata>
 <item><value></value></item>
 <item><value></value></item>
 <item><value></value></item>
</metadata>

What IntelliJ does:

<metadata>
 <item>
  <value></value>
 </item>
 <item>
  <value></value>
 </item>
 <item>
  <value></value>
 </item>
</metadata>

As I've just replied you in the support ticket, the issue is caused by the https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7642-save-actions plug-in. Either disable it or adjust the plug-in settings to not reformat the code on save.
