Sounds like you're describing a really unfortunate behaviour (aka bug) in LiveCycle.

In short, when you select a User or a Group in the assignTask step, it displays the user/group name, but internally it actually uses the ID.

Since ID's are different on different systems, your process isn't transportable across different systems.

There are two workarounds:

1. Use the xpath method instead, and assign to '<group_name>' or '<user-email>' as a string (between single quotes). assignTask will try to resolve any string it finds as either an id, a user login, user email, or group name.

2. Use a group or user lookup step prior to the assign task, store the ID in a process variable, and assign to that process variable in the XPath expression.

Please let me know if this fixes your problem.
