Is it possible to create a custom category? I know that the system comes out of the box with "To Do," "In Progress," and "Done"
Is it possible to create a category of my choosing?

Hi Mikael, Do you know when are you adding the option to add new Categories?
Thanks

@Francisco Mingote I do not work for Atlassian, I am just a user of their tools. I did find this request, JRASERVER-63384, and it looks like it will not happen.
We have decided to close this specific request for additional status categories as Won't Fix. The finite set of status categories allows us to build useful features on top of them, like completion progress indicators for Epics and Versions.

Maybe I am missing the point here. Not sure what you mean by "category" but "To Do", "In Progress" and "Done" are statuses and you certainly have the ability to create additional statuses via defining workflows.

My reply was in regards to the Status Categories "To Do", "In Progress" and "Done".

Statuses belong to 1 of 3 types of Status Category. It gets a little confusing because there are Statuses with the same names as the Status Categories.
To Do.
This is work that hasn't started. You can make more than one status that is of Status Category TO DO. For example:
You could even use these three together going from Idea, to Needs Grooming, to To Do with Idea and Needs Grooming happening in the Product Backlog and then being set to To Do when moving into the Sprint Backlog.
In Progress
This shows that work has started. As has been said, this usually constitutes the majority of steps. For Example:
Done
Some teams have multiple types of Done. While I make use of Resolution for that purpose, different teams have different use cases. For example:
Hope that helps
