Jesse, I am not sure if I understand you. How can I add a dummy property to the list *Page*? I can add a property to the records in the list (via displayPropertyKeys) resulting in an additional column but the requirement is that underneath the list above the [Return] button is an action element that takes the datasource for the list and creates an Excel file from it. Can I really add a property to the *page*? How would I do that, what would the rules look like? Thanks for any clarification.
