Trying to add custom search attributes, getting the following:

```auto
temporal operator search-attribute create \ 
--name Product --type Text \
--name Company --type Text \
--name Status --type Text \
--address localhost:7234

Error: unable to add search attributes: Unable to create search attributes: cannot have more than 0 search attribute of type Keyword.

```

We’ve updated our charts to use visibility (backed by Aurora PG) but doesn’t look like it’s working.

```auto
server:
  enabled: true

  config:
    persistence:

      default:
        driver: sql

        sql:
          driver: postgres12
          host: ---
          port: 5432
          database: temporal
          user: postgres
          existingSecret: ---
          maxConns: 20
          maxConnLifetime: "1h"

      visibility:
        driver: sql

        sql:
          driver: postgres12
          host: ---
          port: 5432
          database: temporal_visibility
          user: postgres
          existingSecret: ---
          maxConns: 20
          maxConnLifetime: "1h"

```

Switching from Aurora to vanilla PG fixed it.
