Not sure I follow you... the built-in terminal opens in a project root directory by default. You can alter this behavior by specifying a directory to start in in Settings | Tools | Terminal, Start directory
I noticed that it states the right path under 'Start directory', but when I launch the terminal plugin when im already in my current project, it still starts from the default terminal path and not from the current project path
I`ll try to explain myself better using an example. Lets say my default working directory in bash is /Users/Jeho and my project is located in /Users/Jeho/project. After opening my project on WebStorm, I would like the built-in terminal to open directly on /Users/Jeho/project and not /Users/Jeho (and then navigate to /Users/Jeho/project). Anyway to configure it in WebStorm?
Well... You can configure the directory to start in - it's Preferences | Tools | Terminal, Start directory. But it looks as if you have a cd command or some scripts in your shell configuration file that cause the shell to сhange directory to your home dir on opening. Please check your .bashrc,.bash_profile, etc.
I had a default path defined in my profile. What helped to have the correct folder in Pycharm without changing the path elsewhere was to set an environment variable `PYCHARM=1` in Settings | Tools | Terminal, Environment variables

thanks, but there is still a problem.

Do you have `cd` commands defined in your .bashrc, etc? what OS are you on, what do your terminal preferences look like?
Im using macOS.

On Windows be sure that you have not overridden the

and using a condition in my powershell profile:
`if ($null -eq $env:PYCHARM) { Set-Location ~\another_folder }`
