Hello Angie,

If you are using the Create Version step template in your workflow to create the job version, you should be able to dynamically retrieve the job version name using the JobVersion(job_id, data_source_name).

Here is the link to the help page for the expression details:  https://doc.arcgis.com/en/workflow-manager/11.4/help/data-management-functions.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_0FAE76D901004FC0BDAFE5313EE62722

For the second part of your question: I am not sure how you are trying to open the map, but if it is done using the Open Web Page step, and it is opening something that has a URL parameter for the version, you can format the URL like the example below. It is a concatenation of string and Arcade so the formatting is key.

'https://servername.domain.com/portal/apps/mapviewer/index.html?webmap=2622e6b3d9e447af99429bcf3f173624&extent='+  jobLocation($job) + '&version=' + jobVersion($job,'data_source_name')
