OK got lucky and found a few more clues, quite hard without context but
this is what I've got working:
In the service I put the results into the map as normal.
Added this in the widget definition:
<set field="failedEmailsList"
from-field="parameters.failedEmailsList"/>
(I wasn't expecting "parameters" to contain the service results but it
works!?)
and this in the form:
<field name="failedEmailsList:"
use-when="failedEmailsList!=null"><display/></field>
so it only displays the text when there is a value which only happens
when the form is submitted and the service returns a result. Now maybe
just a bit more formatting control and it'll be OK...
