Dear Jean,
Your Coil refers to a single node as its setpoint node, but the SetpointManager refers to a NodeList. I think there is confusion within E+ because of that.
Also, some of the new E+ objects allow use of either a node or a Nodelist; this coil appears to prefer a single node.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Missing Field?
I'm trying to insert a electric heating coil for reheat and get
** Severe ** Coil:Heating:Electric "AHU REHEATER"
** ~~~ ** ... Missing control node for heating coil.
** ~~~ ** ... enter a control node name in the coil temperature setpoint node field for this heating coil.
** ~~~ ** ... use a Set Point Manager to establish a setpoint at the coil temperature setpoint node.
There is no field for "control node name" in "Coil:Heating:Electric" and also no controller to be used with it.
My definition is
Coil:Heating:Electric,
AHU Reheater, !- Name
2, !- Availability Schedule Name
0.99, !- Efficiency
600000, !- Nominal Capacity {W}
DOAS Supply Fan Outlet, !- Air Inlet Node Name
AHU Reheater Outlet,
