If you are referring to add custom categories as shown below, I am afraid this is currently not supported in azure devops . We can only add custom states but not custom categories .
You could add your request for this feature on our UserVoice site , which is our main forum for product suggestions. After suggest raised, you can vote and add your comments for this feedback. The product team would provide the updates if they view it. Thank you for helping us build a better Azure DevOps.

From this article iam getting the knowledge that we can only customise the existing workflow & we cannot create an entirely new workflow – Cyril Cereaic Joseph Aug 26 '20 at 10:04

Yes, currently we cannot add a entirely new workflow, we can only customize an existing workflow. – Hugh Lin Aug 27 '20 at 07:32
