Project > Backlog Page : Drag and drop functionality for quickly moving tickets between sprints is not keyboard accessible

Issue Description

On "Backlog" page there is drag and drop functionality for moving tickets between sprints using a mouse, however the same action can't be performed using a keyboard.

STR

1. Navigate to Backlog link present in left navigation menu and activate it.

Actual Behaviour

The drag and drop functionality for quickly moving tickets between sprint is not executable via keyboard keys. As a result this functionality is inaccessible for keyboard only and screen reader users.

Expected Behaviour

Keyboard only users should be able to move tickets between sprints using keyboard Space bar key.

For example : Keyboard only user should be able to lift a ticket from one sprint with Space bar key and drop the ticket to another sprint with Space bar key.

All functionality must be operable using only a keyboard. This is so that blind people or people with vision impairments, as well as people that use alternate keyboards or keyboard input devices as keyboard emulators, can use this functionality without barrier.

Note : There is also working example of such drag and drop functionality on "Board" page of Jira Cloud.
