I think I figured it out based on this hint. It is using the ERMODList, so it 
is creating embedded components which are different than I was thinking about. 
The rule is working for the to-one relationship, and it looks like I have to 
specify the displayPropertyKeys for the embedded lists in order to get them to 
display what I want. I guess I was thinking that the embedded list for a 
to-many would automatically just have the one key I had specified. Another 
thing that threw me is that it didn't change the Property Key label as I was 
expecting. It is still named as the relationship even though it is displaying 
the title. 

Back to the salt mines.

Thanks for your help,

David
