What is the dataProvider? What data type are the items? "data" is an "object" can you can't bind to dynamic objects.
Sometimes a cast/convert will fix the warning, sometimes you need to wraqp the object in ObjectProxy. I would use a real itemRenderer and override the set data(), and asign the button lable in commitProperties().
