You could try manually creating the file here instead and see how it goes. See the comment section for a comment from today (2020-05-10) with the default content for workout.categories Hidden in one of the Zwift data folders lies an opportunitiy to hack the workout categories list. Take a look at the file workout.categories in C:\Program Files (x86)\Zwift\data\Workouts (Windows) or ~/Library/Application Support/Zwift/data/Workouts (macOS).…

    The map is supposed to show in white but because of a mistake by me it has been showing in black instead since Wednesday (I guess). That will indeed have made it very hard to see on top of Zwift.

With ZwiftMap Classic for Windows there is not a problem at all — it reads through your log file at startup…
