OpenStudio error [Induced Air Inlet Node Name] is required but was blank

I'm up against a recurring error very similar to the one described here.

The issue is a blank field for the Induced Air input field of a Four Pipe Induction Terminal supplied by Air Handling Unit 1. The interesting thing here is that every time I add a new terminal unit in a new zone the error seems to move to another (the new) terminal unit.

* Severe * IP: IDF line~7462 Error detected in Object=AIRTERMINAL:SINGLEDUCT:CONSTANTVOLUME:FOURPIPEINDUCTION, name=THB.08 * ~~~ * Field [Induced Air Inlet Node Name] is required but was blank

I tried changing the type of analysis to detailed analysis as mentioned here, but that didn't make any difference.

In addition, the simulation ran before, but once I added additional ZoneExhaust and Ventilation:DesignFlowRate objects it started failing, maybe that has something to do with it.
