SharePoint Designer: Error while Compiling

I tried to create workflow in SharePoint Designer:

The Error occurrs only, if the workflow contains a workflow lookup and i want to compile it.
In this case the following error-code appears:
Microsoft.Workflow.Client.ActivityValidationException: Workflow XAML failed validation due to the following errors:
Cannot set unknown member 'LookupSPListItemStringProperty.ItemId'. HTTP headers received from the server - ActivityId: 9aefe91b-ad3d-4942-a9d6-62b23573db09. NodeId: WFFE_IN_1. Scope: /spo/2066dfc3-753d-448e-8402-3a0b9b06492d/42fbc970-d795-4c3e-b511-3d6368d46642/8a0077c0-0b4b-45e4-bde5-07ece5ae2c20. Client ActivityId : 2114fc9b-50c5-c037-e339-58dfee5e3821. ---> System.Net.WebExcepti

It took long time from me to solve. I decided to Re-register service into my side using command:

Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite 'https://myhost/mysite' -WorkflowHostUri 'https://workflowhost' -AllowOAuthHttp -Force

I reopened SharePoint Designer again and problem disappeared.
