OpenStudio Error when using Low Temp Radiant Var Flow- HVAC system, possible bug?

Hi!

I encountered an error while trying to create a Thermally Activated Building Structure, a TABS System.

I used OpenStudio 3.9 and created a Plant Loop with Low Temp Radiant Var Flow Objects in OS or ZoneHVAC:LowTemperatureRadiant:VariableFlow:Design according to the EnergyPlus Input Out Doc.

When i try to run the system (District Heating & Cooling, SetPoint Manager, Variable Pump) i get the error messages:

   ** Severe  ** <root>[Branch][Plant Loop 1 Demand Branch 2][components][0] - Missing required property 'component_name'.
   ** Severe  ** <root>[Branch][Plant Loop 1 Demand Branch 2][components][0] - Missing required property 'component_object_type'.

When i check the idf-File in the idf editor using the Validity Check Feature the the name objects are alway empty and i cant seem to find the corresponding names.

Is there maybe a Bug where it is currently not possible to use the ZoneHVAC:LowTemperatureRadiant:VariableFlow:DesignObjects due to errors in translating to idf?

Any help would be appreciated! Also if you have any other ideas for creating a tabs system i would like to hear it all! Alex
