Is there a way to add a custom column in Atlassian Projects (Home NOT Jira)?

I want to add a dropdown with preset options to our Atlassian Projects view. (This is a question about Atlassian Home, NOT about the Atlassian Jira product.)

We have separate workstreams, and when sharing the list of projects with stakeholders, I want to filter down to those specific workstreams (like "EHR / eMAR" and "Financial & Payments") that are related to the stakeholder group's interest. 

I do not want to use tags, because those seem too granular and more about general themes across projects, not assigned workstream teams. I don't want to use teams, because those are too broad — like Design or Engineering or product-level like Staff Scheduling or Care Management. People across teams will touch different parts of workstream projects.

Hi @Kailyn B_ and welcome to the Community!

Yes, there is. Have a look at this support article with steps on how to add your own fields to a project.

Hope this helps!

Is this for Projects found under Atlassian Home? 

Or in Jira? 

I am looking to add a custom field to an Atlassian Project, not a Jira Project.

@Kailyn B_ - I can confirm the referenced article resides in the Atlassian Projects and Goals collection (i.e. it's not about the former Jira projects, which have recently been renamed to spaces to avoid this indeed confusing naming overlap going forward).
