If you specified the Value field used (probably one of the Custom Fields) you would need to populate few swimlanes to move the issues across. Just navigate to the space between swimlanes to add one or few

(2) Drag and drop issues between columns/swimlanes to assign Jira issues a) Cost in StoryPoints b) Value in the “props“ you choose. All the changes to Assignee field are applied automatically and you do not need to commit it after.
