Why can't I link form a RTC development plan to a module view?
When trying to link to a requirements collection in DNG I can select Collections, Modules or Module Views.
I'm able to create a link to the module itself, but when I want to link to a view within the module I get an error message
"There were problems modifying links that require the referenced resource to maintain a back link".
Error accessing https://server/rm/materializedviews/_5pKDJrtlEeSlEJFd-6gqLQ: Forbidden
What I'm missing here?

I believe the issue may lie in what is considered a valid oslc relationship. Linking a development plan using the Implements / Implemented By relationship makes sense for a plan with a module, but I don't think anything more granular that applies to the view within a module is defined in the OSLC specification. I'm not even sure I see how you could have tried to link to a view within the module as I do not see that option in the link dialog.

Sorry, but docu tells something different:
1) test plans: "... you can link test plans to requirement collections, modules, and saved module views in the RM application. "
2) development plans: "Linking collections, modules, and module views to development and test plans"
3) and I can select the views ... but get the error when saving the changed RTC plan.
This appears to be an existing issue that has been fixed in next release https://jazzdev03.torolab.ibm.com:9443/jazz03/web/projects/Requirements%20Management#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=95483
