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

Write your own editor template
If this is the only property you are showing, you can use a more specific helper method like Html.TextBoxFor() :
```
 @Html.TextBoxForm(m => m.Screen.Description, new { @class = "myClass" }) 
```
