Assign apps to spaces in catalina

Mission Control used to provide the ability to assign apps to spaces. The options are missing in Catalina. Some apps will appear in the last used space but there is no way to assign an app to a space anymore.

OK, I'm running same system yet Assign To Options do not appear for me. One different might be that I have two displays with a different desktop (space) on each. In Mojave I could assign apps to each desktop (space) in order to move them to default displays.


However, your comment helped me solve the problem. I needed to add another desktop (space) to one of my displays. With the addition of a second desktop on one of the displays then the Assign To Options appeared again.
