StepFunction's input is like:

{
  "name": "A",
  "address": "B"
}

How to add key/dynamic_value (like "executionId": "$$.Execution.Id") to root path:

{
  "name": "A",
  "address": "B",
  "executionId": "arn:aws:states:us-east-1:xxxx:execution:xxx-us-east-1:121b6750-5182-18eb-fd02-3b72c3e2f644"
}

Currently there is no way to do so. They did not provide any syntax for overwriting. A workaround is using Parameters with an extra depth:

{
  "StartAt": "Task1",
  "States": {
    "Task1": {
      "Type": "Task",
      ...
      "Parameters": {
        "executionId.$": "$$.Execution.Id",
        "input.$": "$"
      },
      ...
    }
  }
}

and get output:

{
  "input": {
    "name": "A",
    "address": "B"
  },
  "executionId": "arn:aws:states:us-east-1:xxxx:execution:xxx-us-east-1:121b6750-5182-18eb-fd02-3b72c3e2f644"
}
