First, what is "QTP"? And how is it "picking up" data? It is certainly not going to be able to get anything from the itemRenderers.
Second, what datatype are the objects in the dataProvider? If mx:Object, then they are dynamic and you can add properties to them. I still do not understand what you are trying to accomplish.

Well main problem here is that data that I bind to is coming through FDS and I can not change dataProvider (objects in that arraycollection) to add automationName property that I would (not display) but assign to labels with "automationName" property so it can be picked up by QTP. Just to be clear I don't need to add automationName to renderer as I don't care about it but fields in itemrenderer have to have correct automation name assigned so it gets picked up by QTP without overwriting values.
