Displaying lists of data from a Sobject Collection in a flow (visual workflow)

I've got an Sobject collection variable in a flow, and I would like to display a list of values from the collection in a display text field.

If I use the varaible resource, it displays the IDs, along the lines of [Id1, Id2, Id3].

Is there any way to get the flow to produce something along the lines of:

Name1, Value1
Name2, Value2,
Name3, Value3,

in a display text field?

If not possible in the flow itself, I'm guessing if I embed the flow in a visualforce page I could pull it off, but would appreciate any tips on going about that.

Thanks

Updating Audit Fields

I have had the audit fields (created by, created dates, last modified by, etc) opened by sfdc, and need to see if there is a way to populate these via an update rather than an insert. Through the data loader, they are only available via insert. Is this a data loader limitation or a salesforce limitation? We also have DB Amp, and do not have access on an update either. Anyway around this?

Visual Workflow Collections problem - Flow unable to access item variable despite being set

I have a collection in a visualworkflow that is failing on the first decision element within the flow. I'm getting the following error:

FLOW_ELEMENT_ERROR|The flow failed to access the value for Item.Product_Family_Getter__c because it hasn't been set or assigned.

However, I am definitely setting the field and can see that the flow has it at an earlier point in the debug log:

However, I still get this error:

What else should I be doing? I attach a quick picture of the section of the flow that's failing:
