`RecordRef`s often include a name, which allows access via `method_missing` by calling `record_ref.name`, however if no referenced record is assigned, you'll still get a `RecordRef` instance, it just wont have any fields, so `record_ref.name` raised a `NoMethodError`, but if you checked for the field first via `record_ref.respond_to?(:name)`, it'd be falsey regardless of whether the field existed or not. Defining `respond_to?` in good practice alongside `method_missing`. Ideally, `respond_to_missing?` would be used instead, as that enables access to the method like `record_ref.method(:name)`, however I kept with `respond_to?` to match `CustomFieldList`. `CustomRecordRef` also uses `method_missing`, however there's no specs and I'm not familiar with that record, so I left it alone.
