I see many maps uploaded on battle.net with a custom category and game mode.
For example: Random TD - Category: TD - Mode: TD
How do you do that?
I also noticed that if you create a map with custom categories and select the custom category instead of the default "Custom" the teams set up properly and you can host the map public.
You do that by creating a game variant. For example, here's my DNA Wars game variant, found at Map -> Game Variants:
Add a new one; in my case it's called 4 person FFA
Under Game Type tab, I have Category: Other, Name: Evolves, Description: blah blah blah; then Mode: Other, Name: DNA-W v1.04
That's how you get custom category & game mode
then under Attributes you have to setup your teams. Be careful here because it's really easy to corrupt your map headers and make it unpublishable. I just used Teams -> Custom Teams and a few other settings.
Is there a way to make it so the host can change the category/mode/attribute? Can't change anything when the map is open to public even if the "Locked when public" is unchecked.

did they change anything in patch 14? my map is always private and category/mode are "other (class unclassified)"
