1.Go to Manage configuration UI
2. Select the desired Custom MDF
3. Click Add reference 
4. You see the reference field added.
5. Save the UI.
6. Reference does not show anymore.

When adding a Reference Group, if the Reference Resolver value field isn’t specified then the Reference Group will not be saved.

 A valid value must be set into the reference resolver field. After inserting a value on the reference resolver field, it should save the reference group. 

Please refer to the test image below:
