How to create a static column in a table?

I would like to create one column with labels that should not be changed.

For example:

column title: my_own
first row value: A
second row value: B
third row value:C

Is it possible to do it?

@shayhibah please add more details for your table. Does it always have static values?

If you just need a static column my_own with three static values A, B and C try the following run anywhere search:

| makeresults
| fields - _time
| eval my_own="A,B,C"
| makemv my_own delim=","
| mvexpand my_own
