Adding a new table to model (edmx) without updating the other models in Database First Entity Framework MVC application
<p>I have an MVC 5 application that uses Entity Framework 6 Database First approach.</p>

<p>So far It is working well, but I have come across an unwanted behaviour.</p>

<p>If I select 'Update Model From Database', select the 'Add' Tab, and then select the Tables or Views I would like to add and click Finish, it adds the Tables and/or Views I specified no problem.</p>

<p>However, the unwanted behaviour is that, even though I didn't select the Refresh Tab, it seems every single model is automatically being refreshed.</p>

<p>This means all my custom Attributes on my models are being removed.</p>

<p>Is there any way to specify to only add the specified Tables or Views without refreshing all models, or if it refreshes all models, to retain the Attributes I have specified?</p>

<p>Visual Studio information: Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2013
Version 12.0.40629.00 Update 5
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.5.51650</p>

<p>Installed Version: Professional</p>

<p>Is this a bug or intended use?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
