I'm in the process of building a some custom project tracking into alfresco, and learning development at the same time. I have an aspect that contains certain pieces of meta data about a project, and I would like to be able to search in those fields, but I would rather not clutter the usual cm:content field. I'm using the maven development setup, but I cant test searching on my dev environment because I don't have solr hooked in, so I packaged up the amps and deployed them to our test server.Unfortunately the advanced search form (which was displaying properly on the maven dev instance) gives me an error on the test server. I turned on a lot of debugging, and got the following lines when I tried to select the custom advanced search form:

So it looks like it isn't seeing the fields: dac:itproject-title and dac:itproject-department. The custom model does seem to be working fine though, because I can apply the aspect to a file, and modify the metadata.On the maven dev instance (both the dev instance and the test server are running 4.2.1 enterprise) it looks normal (have attached images of how it displays on the dev instance.) When the amps are moved to the test server, I see an extra option in the advanced search selector, but when I select the "IT Projects" form, the above errors get logged, and the form displays the keywords box and the followint text below it in red:"An error occurred when the form was about to be displayed"So here are what I believe to be the relevant config files:dac-itprojects (model files)
