Why don't you do the same kind of thing for your propertyName component?
Create a custom propertyName component that looks at the property key, if it
matches "rpt_quant_XX-*" do your logic on it to extract the name, otherwise use
default to ERMD2WPropertyName behaviour. Set it as the default propertyName
component for the page.
100 : pageConfiguration = 'ListFoo' => propertyNameComponentName =
"SooperSmartPropertyName" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]
