Description

If you will try to create an item with default-values set to `related_id: XXX`, where `related_id` is a `reference` field, and XXX is not in list of first 30 items, it will lead to JS exception (e.g. "Create related comment" from examples)

Research direction

Reproduce the problem in creationView using the “Create related comment” example, setting a reference field default such as related_id to an item outside the first 30 results. Start by tracing creationView’s reference-field handling and the related item lookup. Done means creating the item no longer throws a JavaScript exception and the default reference is handled correctly.
