The delegate is deprecated. Replace your service task containing this delegate with a script task, for example:

```
<scriptTask id="scripttask1" name="Add relation" scriptFormat="groovy" activiti:autoStoreVariables="false">
    <script><![CDATA[
        import com.collibra.dgc.core.api.dto.instance.relation.AddRelationRequest;
        def relation = relationApi.addRelation(AddRelationRequest.builder()
            .typeId(string2Uuid(givenRelationTypeId))
            .sourceId(item.id)
            .targetId(givenTargetResourceId)
            .build());
        execution.setVariable("output", relation)
    ]]></script>
</scriptTask>
```
