Retrieving user input in Sharepoint workflow

I have a list called Projects. I want UserA to fill in all of the project data except for the code field. I allow this to be done by copying the NewForm.aspx and removing the code input box (and making it non-required) so they can't put in a code value.

I have a workflow that is triggered off of a new item being created for the Projects list.

Step 1: Assign Project Code
  If Code is empty
  Email UserB
      then Collect AssignCode from UserB (Output to Variable: id)
      then Update item in Projects
      then Email Projects:Leader

Step 2: Activate Project
  If Code is not empty
      and Status equals ApprovalGranted
  Update item in Projects
      then Email Projects:Leader

I'm having trouble understanding how to link to the AssignCode collection page from within the email so UserB can simply click the link to fill in the code. Apparently the AssignCode resides within the Tasks list, not the Workflow or Projects list. I have no idea how to get the ID of that particular task so I can put it into the email.

Am I doing this wrong?
