asp.net mvc - Custom editor template of KendoUI ForeignKey Column -

i'm using kendoui asp wrapper, need changing default foreignkey editor "activitycodeid" autocomplete. how change it?

@(html.kendo().grid<timeentry>()     .name("grid-timeentry-project")     .datasource(datasource => datasource.ajax()         .model(model =>                     {                         model.id(record => record.timeentryid);                         model.field(f => f.timesheetid).defaultvalue(0);                         model.field(f => f.timeentrytypeid).defaultvalue(viewbag.projecttimeentrytypeid);                         model.field(f => f.activitycodeid);                         model.field(f => f.description);                         model.field(f => f.duration);                         model.field(f => f.dateadded);                                          })         .read(read => read.action("getprojecttimeentries", "timeentry"))     )     .columns(columns =>                  {                      columns.bound(r => r.timeentryid).hidden(true);                      columns.bound(r => r.timesheetid).hidden(true);                      columns.bound(r => r.timeentrytypeid).hidden(true);                      columns.foreignkey(r => r.activitycodeid, (system.collections.ienumerable)viewdata["allactivitycodes"], "activitycodeid", "activitycode1").title("activitycode");                                                               columns.bound(r => r.description);                      columns.bound(r => r.duration).title("duration (s)");                      columns.command(command => { command.edit(); command.destroy(); }).width(170);                  })       ) 

i tried modified dataannotation of ef model , declared editortemplate it's still using default "gridforeignkey" editortemplate.

here's ef.

[metadatatype(typeof(timeentrymetadata))] public partial class timeentry { }  public class timeentrymetadata {     [uihint("activitycodeideditor")]     public int activitycodeid { get; set; } } 

here's "activitycodeideditor" editor template. can't "asdf" , hence assume editor template not considered.

    @model object <span>asdf</span> @*@(  html.kendo().dropdownlistfor(m => m)                 .bindto((selectlist)viewdata[viewdata.templateinfo.getfullhtmlfieldname("") + "_data"]) 

please help. thanks! )*@

there special column method lets specify name of editor template. try

columns.bound(x=>x.some).editortemplatename("foo");
