# AddRelation delegate

The **AddRelation** delegate adds relation of given type between source and term. Added relation is returned with output variable.

| Field name         | Required | Description                                                                                                                  |
| ------------------ | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| sourceTermId       | Yes      | Id of the source term of the relation.                                                                                       |
| targetTermId       | Yes      | Id of the target term of the relation.                                                                                       |
| binaryFactTypeId   | Yes      | Id of the BinaryFactType, this is the ID of the relation type.                                                               |
| resultVariableName | No       | The name of the variable that the result will be set in, if not given the result will be set in the variable named "output". |

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>
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developer.collibra.com/workflows/designing-workflows/processes/shape-repository/service-task/delegates/addrelation-delegate.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
