Title: Why are edits not saved on custom field profile?

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2015-12-11)
  
  Drupal 7.41
  Civi 4.6.9
  
  I've inherited this site recently and see an issue with custom field profiles that I haven't seen before.
  
  Custom field set is tied to contacts with corresponding profile.
  
  When editing the custom field set from the contact page, edits are saved correctly.
  
  However, when I edit them from the profile, nothing is saved.
  
  There are no errors that I can see in any logs.
  
  I've cleared the templates\_c folder to no avail.
  
  All users have access all custom data permission.
  
  After more research, if I add a built-in Civi field (like last name) to the profile and edit it, the last name edit is saved but no custom field data is saved.
  
  Any ideas?

  In this case the error was due to contacts that were tied to disabled sub-types.
  
  They had created a few sub-types some time ago, added individuals of that type and then disabled the sub-type.
  
  Once I enabled them, they were able to edit using the custom field profiles.
  
  Since they weren't using them, I created a profile to bulk edit their sub-type and pretty quickly cleaned things up.
