Why "capture" it? You basically set that yourself in the "name" attribute of "template_file" tag in available templates.cfg.
Set job variable with this value in your wft, that's it.

I think you mean the TAG_info() fields in the wft, not the template_file in templates.cfg.

The value of any field filled in on the instantiation for is plugged into a form variable associated with that field - e.g.:

...
sub get_user_input{
    TAG_info(
        reviewer =>
        [
            html        => qq[<input type="text"/>],
            is_required => qq[true],
            label       => qq[Select a Reviewer],
        ],
);

In the above example - the form variable 'reviewer' is set to whatever value was filled in on that form when the user clicks Start Job this field can be referenced within the wft via

__VALUE__('reviewer');

within the template_script section of the wft, or via

__TAG__('reviewer');

within the XML portion (if any) of the WFT.

If the intent of the original post is beyond these two examples - the use-case will need to be more detailed.
