When you drag and drop a RuleTask operation onto a Rule Flow diagram, an operation call behavior action is created.

To pass the parameters for this operation call, open the Properties dialog and select the Call tab, then set the Behavior field to the operation to be called; under the Arguments field, click on the Edit Arguments button and edit the argument values to be passed.
