You need to have the fields you want defined in the workflow model for the tasks that need to have access to them. Then you can handle all that with Javascript.

Like mine. Say for my "myWorkflow" task, I define

            <property name="mywf:Name">
               <title>Name</title>
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>‍‍‍‍‍

in the model. Then in the processdefinition, I can do this in the "myWorkflow" task:

         <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
            <script>
               var mail = actions.create("mail");
                   mail.parameters.to = bpm_assignee.properties["cm:email"];
                   mail.parameters.subject = "Hey Buddy";
                   mail.parameters.from = initiator.properties["cm:email"];
                   mail.parameters.text = "Dear " + mywf_Name + ", \n\n" + initiator.properties.firstName + " " + initiator.properties.lastName + " Says hello!";
                   mail.execute(bpm_package);
            </script>
         </action>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

You can access these properties using namespace + _ + property name and do whatever you want with them in Javascript.
