I’m considering buying a Nikon AF 50mm f/1.8D for use on a Nikon D7200. I understand the lens should be set to its minimum aperture before mounting. Once it’s attached, can the D7200 control the aperture electronically as normal? Is there anything else I need to do or watch out for when using this lens on that camera?

Nikon's own specifications state that your D7200 is compatible with AF-D lenses. There is no exception or caveat that excludes the 50mm f1.8 D. http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/dslr/d7200/spec.htm
In addition to setting the lens at the minimum aperture, f/22 in this case, there is a slider to lock that setting:
Once the aperture is set to f/22, be certain to move the slider to align the orange dots. You should be all set.
I have and use this very lens and I think it is quite excellent, especially at its remarkable price.

Yes. The Nikon D7200 is compatible with AF-D lenses, including the AF 50mm f/1.8D. Before mounting, set the lens aperture ring to its minimum aperture (f/22 on this lens), then use the aperture lock so it stays there. Once mounted and locked at minimum aperture, the camera can control the aperture normally.
That’s the main setup step to know. There’s no special caveat mentioned for using this lens on the D7200 beyond setting and locking the aperture ring correctly.
