Dynamic Data - show properties in the metadata class only

In Dynamic Data, we can control what columns are shown using the ScaffoldColumnAttribute and the AutoGenerateField property of the DisplayAttribute.

Right now, I need to decorate the properties in my metadata classes one by one (I am using EF database first approach). And the problem is that I have an ever-changing model.

Is there any way to show only those properties defined in my metadata classes? That is - if the property is in the metadata class, do show, otherwise hide. Much appreciated.

    Thank you.
