Turns out at some point my data was going away.
I am afraid I don't know why, but I have managed to fix it.
Seems like the data was getting assigned before the creation complete
phase.
I was also able to get rid of the label function.
I set the labelField.
dataProvider="{dataSetColl}" labelField="DisplayName"
Thanks for you responses.
