Hi,

I'm running an instance of CiviCase with fairly large forms (http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,27697.0.html). My users have been having issues sometimes where saving an activity causes a fatal error: "required params missing". I'm not sure if it's something caused by custom development, large forms or browser issues (although most run the latest version of Firefox).

Looking at the backtrace, the error comes from: CRM/Case/Form/Activity.php in the "preProcess" function:

    if ( !$this->_caseId || (!$this->_activityId && !$this->_activityTypeId)) {
      CRM_Core_Error::fatal('required params missing.');
    }

From what I understood, these  values are fetched from either the $_REQUEST variable, and if not, from the session (?), i.e. using CRM_Utils_Requests::retrieve().

When the form is loaded, I have the following in the URL:
/civicrm/case/activity?action=add&reset=1&cid=3701&caseid=312&atype=54

In the form itself, the only hidden values stored a pretty much just the qfKey for the form, so I assume it's relying on the session?

Any hints as to what could explain the erratic, hard to reproduce bug?

Can you run a debugger, or put in some debugging code like CRM_Core_Error::debug() to see what those variable values are?
