You are correct: form fields are stored as their id. So if you have a form field with 'assignee', it is available as 'assignee' in later steps.

Did you try using a 'Display value' for it (or 'Display Text')?

Where did you fill in the ${assignee}?

For User Task, you can add the assignee by pressing 'Assignment' column.
If you are sending to particular person, add his/her email address under 'Identity Store' with Assignment as 'Assigned to single user'.
Update the email address and save. The task is assigned to the person automatically.

When I tried to use 'Fixed Values' and update email address, I get a warning while validation as "Assignment should be set with IDM type for cloud app deployment'.

Hi jbarrez,
I am having the similar issue. I have a field called 'consultant' and I have both name of the field and display text set as 'cosnultant'. I am passing this value to my user Task where I am setting: Assignment >> Fixed values >> Candidate users = ${consultant} but i get the following error when trying to run the workflow.
