Error: readBND, Did not recognize: Controlled Zone Return

"Error: Error: readBND, Did not recognize: Controlled Zone Return,1,CORE_ZN RETURN AIR NODE NODE NAME."

After updating small_office.idf example from energy.gov from v7.2 to v8.8, running a file via MLE+ gives this error; while energy plus .err file there is no errors. AFAIK the problem lies in a class ZoneHVAC:EquipmentConnections.
