Does anyone know if we'll ever be able to play vs custom AI in a singleplayer/custom game? Right now it's exclusive to multi-instance multiplayer games so you can't save/load for testing purposes, and it's a bit of a hassle to set up.
You can create/join, save/load multiplayer games using Loacl PC mode, instead of UDP (either another PC or VM), but mainly you need 2 copy Starcraft folder somewhere else, because in multiplayer games (Local PC/UDP) there should be 2 versions of the .mlx (save-file) in maps\save\ in each of the players' folders, so you can create/join the saved game later by browsing to the .mlx file without getting "The game creator closed all available slots!".
You also need to direct Chaos to the other SC folder from settings, before running the other instance of Starcraft.exe, to also save the game in its own path.
Other things can go wrong during the process, but those 2 are the main.
The core idea is to have 2 processes of Starcraft.exe running from different folders, you can check that by Task Manager or Process Explorer.
