Humidity setpoint managers not appearing in airloop

I've been having trouble with single zone dehumidification. When I place the Setpoint Manager Single Zone Humidity Maximum (or any humidity-related setpoint manager for that matter), the icon does not actually appear. When I click on the the intended node, however, it does seem to have been included in some capacity (see the attached picture). Is this enough for it to be functional?

Additionally, since adding this loop, my model has been failing due to the following error. Can this be related to my humidistat or something else altogether (note: this space has no actual OA requirement or temperature setpoint):

* Severe * CalcMixedAirSetPoint: Missing reference temperature setpoint for Mixed Air Setpoint Manager NODE 64 OS DEFAULT SPM * ~~~ * Node Referenced =NODE 57 * ~~~ * use an additional Setpoint Manager with Control Variable = "Temperature" to establish a setpoint at this node. * Severe * CalcMixedAirSetPoint: Missing reference temperature setpoint for Mixed Air Setpoint Manager NODE 63 OS DEFAULT SPM * ~~~ * Node Referenced =NODE 57 * ~~~ * use an additional Setpoint Manager with Control Variable = "Temperature" to establish a setpoint at this node. * Fatal * Previous severe set point errors cause program termination
