I want to share with Revit Users and Autodesk.

I pounded on this one today and I think you found a limitation of the software. It appears that the View Reference tag works only in views that have dependents.
My temporary workaround would be to fashion an Annotation Symbol family that looks exactly like the View Reference tag and manually enter values. It isn’t coordinated but, will provide you with what you are looking for.
I have created and attached a Manual View Reference Symbol that looks like the actual View Reference tag.
Below, I highlighted the two views and the two annotation families I used. The View Reference – Man tag can be added with the Symbol tool on the Detail panel of the Annotate tab in the Ribbon.

My Comments:
While I appreciate work arounds, What is the point of intuitive software if all the ideas havent been resolved in the software? With whom does autodesk seek to answer questions on construction documentation and standards of architectural drafting. This particular circumstance, questioned above, is something i have experienced differently in 4 firms, but the general concept is the same.
Referencing sheets or matchline halves or quadrants on the overall plan sheet, that is of a different scale, is general practice, and Autodesk... Revit Architecture needs to do this as intutively as it does on the overall plan at the same scale.
Commentary to this may assist Autodesk to see the need for a fix in theire latest version.
