The built-in editor template is too generic (it can display arbitrary objects) for such a concept to make sense. You could either

Write your own editor template
If it's only a single property you're displaying you could use a more specific helper method such as Html.TextBoxFor():
```
@Html.TextBoxForm(m => m.Screen.Description, new { @class = "myClass" })
```
