If you look at swaymsg -t get_outputs, the output names are likely different than they were under X11. For example, HDMI-1 is likely HDMI-A-1.

For anyone else having the issue, I was required to quit and restart sway for my ws assignments across my monitors to take effect. Reloading the config did not work.

HTH someone out.

Workspace assignments in sway seem to be cumulative, i.e., if you have assigned a workspace to (or created a workspace on) a certain output, subsequent assignments only take effect if the original output is no longer active. But luckily it's fairly easy to patch sway to overwrite (as opposed to accumulate) assignments: https://git.marussy.com/sway/commit/?h=patch-for/master&id=97111f3e606c7c11dd418c275c3e7c2d69b68a06

this patch seems to still apply cleanly and solves the problem. Is there any reason not to merge it?
