You can use following steps:

Pass input user value from your html form to Activiti using taskService.complete(task.getId(), taskVariables); taskVariables should contain variable with keys for example 'userId' or 'userIds' to access submitted values in process instance
Use expressions in your process definitions <userTask id="task" name="My Task" activiti:assignee="${userId}"/> or <userTask id="task" name="My Task" activiti:candidateUsers="${userIds}"/> to assign tasks

Also look to http://www.activiti.org/userguide/#bpmnUserTask and http://www.activiti.org/userguide/#springExpressions for detailed information

But it says Unknown property used in expression ${userIds}. What am i missing? – Numan Karaaslan Apr 05 '18 at 08:05

@NumanKaraaslan set variable `userIds` to process instead of passing it in `taskVariables` – Piro Jan 16 '19 at 07:35
