Missing CodeLens references count in Visual Studio Community edition 2015 and 2017

Question

1. Is there a reason why the references count (code lens) is missing in Visual Studio Community edition?
2. Is is possible to enable it in the options?

Answer 1

This feature has been disabled in Visual Studio Community 2017, although it sounds like it was temporarily available in pre-release versions.

The Visual Studio Team issued this statement on the 14th of March 2017:

An authoring error in the SQL Server Data Tools resulted in the capability temporarily showing up incorrectly in Visual Studio Community when installed; the change you see is a result of correcting that mistake.

Also, on the Compare Visual Studio 2017 Offerings page CodeLens appears to not be available in the Community edition.
