Lobo - did you identify where it would create the participant fields? The problem I had with trying to debug is that I couldn't find any mechanism that would appear to make it create the custom fields as participant fields (rather than contact)

Wow - just spent an afternoon trying to figure out what is happening & while I don't have a patch I've found out where it is going wrong - it's occurring when the contact has a subtype - in this case 'staff'.

Where there is a subtype this query is returning a much larger set of custom fields than occurs without a subtype - including participant fields - causing the next create to try to save them as contact fields. (there is a function at the end of confirm:postprocess that saves contact fields - createProfileContact should bypass them)

Eileen -

When I changed the contact record to not have a sub-type, then I was able to submit a credit card contribution. 

What is weird, is for me this issue only impacted credit card contributions, not cash/check contributions.

The problem has been fixed here - http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-10979.

And also explained why / how it worked with cash/check payments.

Confirmed, patch worked for me.

Thanks again!
