In your constructor method you something like

<dtml-with "Your_Zclass.createInObjectManager(REQUEST['id'], REQUEST)">
  <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('Category','TEST')">
  <dtml-call
"propertysheets.InstanceConstants.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)"> 
</dtml-with>

should work. There's a short description about this in the constructor
method, when it is added to your ZClass by default.
