Description

Go to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q428581 (Possession book)
at the bottom of Statements, click [add]
choose publication date, enter 1990
click [add reference]

Result: nothing happens (is it a bug that the UI doesn't show any error?). If you look in developer console, there's an error "Error: Required option not specified properly".

I found from ?debug=1 that the error is in jquery.wikibase.referenceview.js line 93 because this.options.statementGuid is null. It happens in Firefox and chromium.

Maybe I'm meant to save the statement first? But if I click Save, I get

  TypeError: edittoolbar is undefined
	 btnSave = edittoolbar.getButton( 'save' ),
   referenceview.js (line 73, col 5)

and again, no error shown to user.

I could reproduce the problem by following the steps in this ticket. When I press save after step 3, I can save the statement without problems. Saving doesn't work after I click add references (which shows no possibility to add a reference) and click save.
