You have two ways to do so

Create a Custom field (e.g. Stakeholder) of the type "JIRA Metadata - View project metadata field" (Further infos: How-to configure the Customfield Sample 1)
1. use Stakeholder as Default Value

Create a Custom field (e.g. Stakeholder Complex) of the type "JIRA Metadata - Calc. field" (Further infos: How-to configure the Customfield Sample 2)

use the following source code as Default Value

#set( $value = $metadataService.getMetadataValue($issue.projectObject, 'Stakeholder') )
#if( $value == "Customer" )
    #set( $someString = "Customer related" )
#elseif( $value == "Manager" )
    #set( $someString = "Manager level" )
#else
    #set( $someString ="Others" )
#end
$someString

Subsequently, the project's relative metadata value is displayed on the issue.

You can also display the fields as columns in the search and export them.
