    A Business Process Flow is a type of workflow, and the fields in each stage are defined in the Xaml attribute of the workflow entity. You can get the Xaml either via SQL, or a Retrieve via the API.

    The Xaml is a Xml document, which then needs parsing. The fields are referenced as a mcwb:Control element, with a DataFieldName attribute. The stages are a mxswa:ActivityReference element, and you can identify them via the DisplayName attribute, though this has two parts - e.g. you might see the following for a stage called 'Verify Contact'

    DisplayName="StageStep2: Verify Contact"

    Hello,

    Which CRM are you using?
    You want to retrieve from client side or server side?
    If for client side you can use the below code, but it is available on CRM 2015.
    var value=Xrm.Page.getControl("header_process_AttributeName").getAttribute().getValue();

    Thanks,

    Sam
