I have search crawlers accessing "/system/ajax" and when it does the following notice is thrown.

Notice: Undefined index: form_id in ctools_custom_formatters_init() (line 11 of /mnt/stor2-wc1-dfw1/394720/www.ivaw.org/web/content/sites/all/modules/custom_formatters/includes/ctools.inc).

Just wanted to report it.

Don't think I've seen these notices in a while.

hi,
i dare to reopen this issue, cause i receive the very same notice and am in a very uncomfortable situation now.

I use a node type with a field collection. I create a node of this type as a template form for a species list.

All went well so far adding items to the field collection, but around the 141th item, adding a new item stops working and also the node sets itself to unpublished after saving!

I found this message in the reports:
location: http://example.com/system/ajax
referer: http://example.com/node/22940/edit
message: Notice: Undefined index: form_id in ctools_custom_formatters_init() (Zeile 11 von /home/bernd/www/d7/sites/all/modules/custom_formatters/includes/ctools.inc).

My field collection needs to have some 200 more entries unfortuantely to be complete.
I already restarted the editing of the list with a new node, cause this has happend before, but again around the 140th item, clicking the add button has no effect and doesn't add a new item to the field collection.

I hope someone has a quick idea what to do, otherwise i will buy me a rope and shoot myself with it.

If somebody run into this problem, first time check the PHP settings (?q=admin/reports/status/php)
and check the value of the max_input_vars variable.
And then open the debuger window of the browser, go to Network tab.
The last entry in the list is /system/ajax or similar, near to throbbler.gif. (This depend on the used theme, form type, etc...)
Check the details of the /system/ajax entry, Headers tab/ Form data
If you see there more lines than your max_input_vars value, then you find the origin of the problem.
Increase the value of the max_input_vars variable.

@Sweetchuck, thank you so much for your solution tip. I had an AJAX error 503 that would come up every time I clicked "add another item" on field collections. I was unable to edit or create any of the content types that used field collections. I uploaded my error screenshot. After following your instructions I discovered the following:

My php.ini was set to max_input_vars = 1000, but the server was loading over 3000 lines. This started happening sometime after the update in January (?). Modifying that setting fixed the problem.

Thanks again!
