If you're using EditorFor, I don't think the looping solution will work. It seems that using the IEnumerable template is the only way for the form inputs to be named correctly; if you just call EditorFor repeatedly, then your form s will have the same ID, rather than indexed IDs.

I experienced this issue and the solution was to emit the enumerable template and not loop through the list items.
