C&C TD: Published map not available for online lobbies

Product: Command & Conquer Remastered
Platform:Steam-PC
Summarize your bug Published C&C TD maps that show up on the workshop (and are working correctly in skirmish) does not show up in the "User Maps" section, I've created two multiplayer maps, both work in skirmish, both are uploaded to workshop via your map editor, none of them are visible and been over 24h hours.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just create a map and upload it, nothing fancy, check if map exists and is selectable in Skirmish and then go online and check in the "User Maps" section.
What happens when the bug occurs? Nothing, seems fine except maps are not available in the "User Maps" section
What do you expect to see? I expected to find my maps in the "User Maps" section

‌

This bug originate from the steam discussion board, I strongly recommend you EA guys to periodically check those boards as well.

Please keep it updated when you work on this issue so we don't have to look in here to see progress.

My maps just uploaded to the User Maps!
I had to do a few things though. To all who read this do the following:
1. Go to the Workshops and then go to your own personal workshop that have all your maps.
2. Click on one of your maps, if you've reuploaded the map there should be a button called Change (view). Click that link.
3. There will be a Steam license agreement that you need to accept before it will accept the latest published version.
At this point it may or may not work. If it does NOT work then continue the following steps.
4. Open the Maps .mpr file and delete the line that has the steamworkshop id. Save the file.
5. Publish the map as a new map after deleting it from the Workshop.
The maps should publish to the User Maps shortly thereafter.

Same issue is happening on CnC Red Alert from CnC Remastered, I uploaded like 8 maps, They appear in Steam Workshop but in User maps section inside the game is not working, showing the maps.

You can see in my steam workshop profile, The last 8 uploaded maps uploaded like 2 weeks ago by now and still now showing in 'User Map's ingame.

EA I think it's time to give this bug report some recognition, or at least tell us what to expect, because there will be no people keeping this game alive if we can't play our custom made maps online.
And ask yourself, why did the Warcraft series become big? because the players were able to add custom content, create their own maps and game styles.

@Destructor19341 Nice. It was passed on internally, but we had no idea if more steps would be needed to make the affected maps work. Thanks for the overview. Might be worth mentioning the map is .ini on TD.

Also, in case step #4 and #5 are needed, you might want to mention that it's a good idea to remove the original workshop item to avoid duplicates 😉
